Aquarium Advice Addict
I don't have any seed material for my tank, but want to know other ways to make the cycle speedy. Thanks in advance for your help.

As stated, higher temperatures increase the metabolism of the bacteria (up to a certain point, of course.)
Also, surface agitation helps. Surface agitation, simply put, is increased movement of the water surface through disturbance, which in turn increases aeration. This is beneficial for the nitrifying bacteria in the aquarium. You can achieve this by keeping the water level in your tank low.

Just wondering what you mean by dates? I started this thread yesterday if that's what you're talking about. Sorry about my easily confused brain.

I assume you are doing a fishless cycle and I assume you have already read about how to do this - it can take a while and it's too easy to be impatient to get fish unless you want to get hardy fish (like danios) instead to provide the ammonia.
