@asiandude666 ok but i want a good cycle and a fast cycle no medicals like aquasafe or life bacteria all they are expensive etc Just borrow some filter media and than 1 week cycling ?

[asiandude666]

@spongeex yes..you just use mature media from a healthy tank and use that in the new filter. Run for a few hour then add a few fish each week.

I usually add plants with it to help with nitrate too.

What fish do you use when you do this??:)

[asiandude666]

@pearsonshawn you can addy hardy fish such as guppy, danioi, betta, cory.

[asiandude666]

@pearsonshawn yes! just make sure to run the filter for 1 hour and add fish. I usually add fish right away anway.

[pearsonshawn]

Will it still work if you have another tank that is heated, and you put that filter sponge in a freshwater tank???

[asiandude666]

@PluralP yes should be fine. I usually add them right away and do waterchange and feed little.

Shrimp needs a bit more of a mature tank that has been running for a while.

I put my fish in 5 days after putting the water in. Only my freshwater shrimp didn't survive the others (8 pristella's, 8 pigmi corrydoras and one electric blue ramirezi) did fine. In America everyone is somehow crazy about cycling it though :P. the thing I did was, feed them small amounts (still do that) and I have a lot of real plants, not those ugly fake ones :). My friend has also had multiple aquariums and has always put the fish in after a week. the pet store also said this was fine :P.
