Whats The Fastest Way To Cycle A New Tank?

[KrayzieVanh]

Bio Spira is too hard to find locally (at least for me). I recommend getting material from a establish tank like gravel, filter material, decorations, etc.

I still find biospira to be rubbish material.

have you ever used it before? seems to work for everybody else. 12 bucks for a cycle doesnt sound too bad. maybe you got a bad bag of it. if you see this stuff on the shelf, you know its bad already because this stuff is supposed to be refrigerated

hi guys,

im setting up a new tank as im aqquiring 4 zebra pleco's and im aiming to breed them eventually. my question is whats the fastest way to cycle a new tank?

cheers,

clint

If you want to breed zebra plecs, your question shuoldn't be 'how quickly can I cycle' but something more like 'Is 6 months long enough to mature the tank'. With so few zebra plecs left in the trade, you won't want to kill 4 £250 odd , rare, endangered fish becasue you rushed the cycling.
