Well, all I have is the 72g now, gave the 55 to my cousin. So maybe 5-6 for the 72g?

And should I add them a day or 2 before I leave, or pretty much whenever?

to do a fishless cycle, you get everything running (no fish) and pour in a cup of household ammonia (real ammonia, no additives/the cheap stuff). test every couple days. Add a little more in a week.
By the end of May, it should be cycled.

Noo Too much read the forms on fish-less cycling I used 1-3 table spoons for a 150 and that brought my Ammonia to about 3ppm
