Method Of Cycling A New Tank

Fish Less Cycling?
Unlike the usual method, fish less cycling allows you to mature the system without placing fish under stress from polluted water. It means you won't have to choose hardy fish that you might not otherwise want to keep. And, if done correctly, it could allow you to reach a higher stocking density quicker and more safely than the conventional method.


How do I get started?
Most people opt for an inorganic fish less cycling technique. This basically involves adding a nitrogenous solution, like ammonia, to the tank at regular intervals for the bacteria to break down. Arguably, organic material, such as a piece of fish or some fish food would be the ideal thing to use, since it would also encourage the growth of the heterotrophic bacteria that break down organic matter into ammonia. These might not be present in the same numbers if you cycle inorganically.


We suggest using ADA's ( Bacter 100) and (Green Bacter). Unlike most other products for cycling new tanks this powerful biological supplement which rapidly matures new aquariums and filters. It's designed to make the tank mature any quicker. Ideally to give the filter a kick-start.


The food source needs to be added at regular intervals throughout the cycling process.
