hahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahah

that has got to be the funniest thing I have read all day long

now

I personally have not ever done a fishless cycle myself so I cant give advice but the person a few posts above basically covered it

If you have a tank set up already a fast way to track a new tank is to take the sponge from the cycled one and squeeze it in the new tank to jumpstart your filter moniter the level and soon you good to go
 
+1 on rdx1555's advice only with such a small tank i wouldn't do a 90% change more like 20%-30% wc.

and +1 on chefjamesscott's last lil bit of advice but unless you dont have a bio media that is squeezable.


(lol don-won this isnt a singles forum hehe)
 
I just normally pin a filter cartridge in the tank to sppeed it up
 
Anyone wanna donate a sponge from an established tank?! lol Unfortunately, I did a cycle with fish once last month, then decided I needed a brand new filter, and now it's cycling all over again. I hate being a noob!

That's the funniest thing I've read all day. :)

Just let things sit and stew for a while.It always takes the nitrite longer to drop to 0ppm.
What are you using for ammonia?
 
Poopy water from the tank with fish in it, and food. The gravel in the two tanks I'm fishless cycling is old, from when I used to keep goldfish in terrible conditions... so it's probably dirty still. I'm not really adding ammonia, just kind of wingin' it. It's working well though, as the two smaller tanks are already showing nitrates. I'm getting closer!
