Tank Cycling

[1clicc]

I'm kind of confuse on the process of cycling tank. I have a 55 gallons fish tank. I haven't setup the tank yet because i need more info on tank cycle. Does anyone here have experience on tank cycle that are welling to sharing their information with people like me so that we could get a better understanding of it. By the way i'm going to setup my tank to be saltwater. Any information well be highly appreciated.

Thanks

If you follow the link in my sig, and read the first half of my article, that should explain the Nitrogen Cycle to you, which is the same in fresh water and marine. However, getting the Nitrogen Cycle established in marine tanks is a rather different proposition than in fresh water.

Basically, in your saltwater tank the beneficial bacteria are introduced with the live rocks and live sand.
