Here it is, my new setup!

So this a my new tank all set up and ready to cycle. I'm doing a fish less cycle. This is my first time cycling a tank and I'm just wondering if anyone had any quick tips for me from their experience with fish less cycles. I dont have my test kit yet but I have ordered it, but I figured I might as well add water at let my cycle start even if I don't have my kit yet.

Nice tank, good luck with the cycle. Patience is pretty much the key with fishless cycling. You've probably seen it but if not, the fishless cycling guide on here is a good one and one that most of us (including myself) have followed: Guide to Starting a Freshwater Aquarium - Aquarium Advice

Best thing you can do is add filter media from an established tank & then just keep checking parameters. Best of luck!

If I do not have access to established filter media what can I do?
