Good Community Set-up?

[sillymikey]

So Im in the process of cycling my tank.
Bought some Stress Zyme to help it out (is that a good idea? they told me it was)
And now Im deciding what to add once I have the cycling process done. Any recommendations? I was thinking of cichilds, but I know they can be aggresive so I cant add a lot of diffrent species. Can anyone tell me what I can add with them? Or some other community set-up perhaps? Any help would be appreciated!

How exactly are you cycling it?

 

[sillymikey]

I poured 3 1/2 teaspoons of the stress zyme in the tank (it says to put 1 teaspoon per ten gallons) and have a Bio-wheel running on it

you need fish waste or amonia to cycle it others will coment on this in more detail I used to use a old established filter and load with fast growing plants and fill with water from other tank BAM cycled in one hour. Now I just add it to my fishrooms central wet/dry tank system instantly cycled

like normal ammonia from the store? Where would I get fish waste? LFS?

Here, check out my getting started page. It should answer all of your cycling questions, such as how it is done, with and without fish. Just go to the cycling section.

The stress zyme, along with the other chemicals that supposedly make your tank cycle faster have very little to no effect on your tank at all.
