recipe for fishless cycle

[RTR]

If at all possible keep your mechanical filter in place - it should not be absolutely necessary during fishless cycling, but this pad is rinsed rather than replaced, is it not?

C'Man - great! If AC does not want to publish the scheme here, we will be glad to include it in AquaSource Magazine at Tom's Place. That would be quite handy to have as a reference URL.

marineland says to replace it ever month. How long does carbon normally remain effective?

I have edited out the reference to commercial bateria products from the recipe I proposed above.
