Exactly what the title says. I just began my fishless cycle, my very first one in my first tank aside from small betta tanks. With the bettas I would always put them in as soon as I got the tank and not even think about a cycle. Now I'm becoming more informed though and trying to do this right. I'm looking for someone or some people that could help walk me through it if I update my parameters and progress. I've been looking online, have plenty of resources, but would still feel better having some go-to help.
Tank is 150 gallons, I'm using Dr. Tim's ammonium chloride. Last night I added in 5 teaspoons, checked it twice at different times and had an ammonia reading of 3-4 ppm. So now I just continue checking and wait for the ammonia to hit 0? I didn't feel like taking apart my canister filter so this morning I took about half of a sponge from my bettas filter and tied it to the intake in the 150 figuring it can't do any harm and may help out some.
