Fish Crazy
I think a lot of the time with cycling its a toss up between luck and good water. I didnt know about a fishless cycle before i joined this forum so i did the old school method of fill the tank, flake of food in every other day then leave it a week. Next i added a couple of hardy fish to help the tank along. This was how my father in law advised me and it must be luck but ive been ok so far. bit random and probably not needed but just wanted to show you that the other side of the coin can work too but i think i was more lucky !
