Hi, I've just got a new tank.
I will start cycling it soon, id like to do it without using any fish.
I have done a bit of research and this is my plan, please tell me whats right or wrong.
1. fill tank with tap water
2. Add dechlorinator
3. Wait a day for temperature to stabilise
4. Put the foam from my old filter into the new tanks filter.
5. let the filter run
not sure from here. do i just leave it like that for a while, or do i need to add some ammonia for the bacteria to eat?
Any help would be great.
btw Tank is 100 gallon with built in corner filter
Thanks
