I typed in "aquarium advice" into google and clicked on the third link, a place called: newaquariuminformation.com. Have a look at their "expert advice" on aquarium cycling:
"After your finished setting up the aquarium let it run for 24 hours before you add fish. This time is needed to equalize the water pressure, you will notice tiny bubbles floating to the surface, this is the water settling. If you place fish in immediately, your fish will die! There is no need to run a freshwater aquarium for longer than 24 hours before adding fish. As long as the temperature is stable and all of the aquarium equipment works properly, you are ready to add some aquarium fish."
Extra idiocy in bold.
