Cycling tank

[manueljoseph]

Hello guys, is there a way to cycle a tank faster? I just bought an all in one tank. Are there any bottled bacterias that are good for me to use to cycle the tank faster?? And should i pair it with a live rock too?

Bro…i dont believe you can get live rocks these days

You just have to be patient - like everything else in this hobby. I cycled two tanks and it took a month for both times.

There are a lot of information around but basically, raise you ammonia to 2.0 ppm, add good bacteria and wait until it drops to zero. You need to also get bio-balls for your bacteria to live & sustain as well and check your nitrate levels as it should go up after week 3.

There are turbo starts alternatives, personally I have never used them and  I think they are quite hard to find.

Patience is very important in this hobby

If you're willing to take the risk, can get biomedia from lfs or reefers and put it in your tank. But not recommended. Just be patient. Every reefer went through the same journey.

Was advised to include live bacteria in to speed up the process of cycling.. can get from any local lfs..
