Hello to all. I'm planning on buying a new 46g bowfront tank and I was wondering where I could buy some BB to help speed up the cycle.
Get a used filter pad off someone. It will nearly instant cycle your tank. The bottled stuff can really be hit or miss (more often miss if you ask me haha)
I just put it in the bottom of the tank myself.
You can start your own in the small tank by adding one more filter pad, with the one you already have, piggyback. In a couple weeks you should be building some decent BB, at least good as a starter and can be added with one if you can get from someone. I always do double filter pads, for double the BB, but also in case you happen to find a new tank! lol!
