Fellow AA members with experience in fish-less cycling,
I am currently in the midst of cycling my first tank (45gal) and am awaiting the growth of bb in my fish-less cycle.
In my research, I had read that without filter media from an already established tank, I am basically waiting for the bacteria to enter my tank from its surroundings as this bacteria naturally occurs in tiny colonies on most surfaces.
If this is the case, would it be more beneficial for me to leave my hood open as opposed to keeping it closed during this process to increase the probability the bacteria may find its way to my tank and begin multiplying gloriously?
Just some food for thought while I am waiting for my tank to cycle.
