Cycling explanation

[missyme06]

any one have a really good way of explaining cycling to people (like your average LFS customer).

I've noticed that I'm really bad at explaining it and people get confused or just start agreeing with every thing i say.

Keep it simple. Most people will tune you out at the second big word you use. If they seem truly interested in learning, then give them the in depth details.

Simple:
Bacteria eats the fish waste, but you still need to do water changes to get rid of what is left over.

Less simple:
Ammonia>nitrites>nitrates>water changes.
