I may be wrong, but that is the way that I prefer to go as well.

I've got a fluvil fx5 and a120 gallon sump with 4x70 gallon power heads and u guys think I need 1 more

 

[fishboy87]

With a tank thy size.... It's better to e safe than sorry... Hopefully you can get some Media (bio) from an established tank..... That would really help ou cycle that monster....

Posting so this stays in my 'current' tab.
Personally, I'm cichlid-obsessed and I would use that tank to breed them!! But that's just my opinion. I also got a wicked cool image of a 500g planted tank with schools of tetra, guppies, swordtails, mollies, whatever small colorful fish I could find that would cohabitate.
congrats on such an amazing purchase!! I hope you have fun with it, and it gives you more enjoyment than headaches!!

Since you have your filter's you can start to grow your own nitrAte seed. It will speed up your cycle process and give you something to do now to move your tank build along.
If you want to grow nitrAtes in your filters while you are waiting. Read thread "Noob here made a mistake, hopefully you guys/gals can help" Post #42.
It will explain how it's done.
Doing it this way I was able to cycle my 55g tank in 5 days. Your tank is sOOOOO much bigger than mine, so it will take longer, but much less than doing it after your tank is all set up.
If you do decide to do it and have any questions after reading the other post, let me know. I'm here most days.

I think the original post by McLumpy was more of a friendly ribbing and not a complaint.

This. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude. I didn't realize that the pics were posted anywhere either. Again, I'm sorry.

I belong to another forum and the "this thread is worthless without pics" phrase is well known for being a kindly gesture that someone is interested in seeing pics.

*hides in the corner*

There was no need for you to apologize. (And, no, I didn't hide in the corner lol).

I did get a chance to check out the pics in your album btw. That tank is too cool! I also like your other tank w/ the Buddha! Very nice looking plants!

Do you have any updates regarding the 500g?
