I have been reading what I can find (here and elsewhere) on the fishless cycle, but can't find the answer to this question:
Can you do a fishless cycle without drawing bacteria from an existing tank?
I do not have a good source for gravel/filter squeezings/etc. I could get live plants but prefer not to; ditto for decomposing a shrimp. Is there anything else that would work? Maybe decomposing fish food ...?
