Cycling?

[BirdofPray]

I've been reading a ton of posts on here and I just wanted to post this to get one big comprehensive answer. What is cycling (in regards to fishtanks )? I don't have a big tank but I just want to know what it is for future reference because I do want to get a big aquarium.

It's where you clean out your fishtank in a matter of about 2 weeks
It involves dechlorinator, ammonia, ph kits etc.
It does say what cycling is in a topic above
