Cycling tank ?'s

[amehel0]

do i need to do water changes whilst cycling tank. i finally got my 164 gallon tank. the 60x24x28H inch tank.

Fish or fishless cycling?

 

[AnDr3w]

No. Fish or no fish, it just prolongs the cycle. Just use ammo-lock or something to de-neutralize it.

 

[Dr Joe]

de-neutralize it ?

Are you implying it was neutralized? and what was neutralized?

 

[AnDr3w]

Make it non-toxic?

its already got everything out i dont need to use water conditioner/de chlorinator i have the water filtered through carbon. here are some pics i will add a tilapia in a week when i get my heaters.

my live rock i collected water is blue because i did use water conditioner for it.

Rather than go thru it all check out this link, it's all about watching the tanks chemistry.

i tend to buy small fishes (neons) to help cycle the tank faster.
can i ask what filter you will be using?
