How can i cycle my aquarium quickly?

Wtih theconditions ive seen fish kept in at stores Id be hesitant to buy established media from their filters. I worry about disease enough just buying their fish!
The tank will be stocked with africans
Juveniles, you could easily put 4-6 in and it would not be that big a chore to keep ammonia in check on a 125g.
Dont spend a bunch on them, just in case.
Its all going to be about the water until you finally get nitrates.
Get some that will go with your final stocking wishes. If you keep on top of the water quality they will be a fine base to build the rest of your stock on.
If I was going to "rush" a cycle, that is what I would do.

I personally have had no problems cycling tanks faster with feeder fish. Now anyone reading this on Mfk will be pissed off because its not the right thing to do. Works for me. As well i usually add some bio juice to speed things along. Established media also works great as well
I use seachem stability whenever I start new tanks....It works great. That's what I am going to use in the future also. It lowers the risk of spikes for the first 4-6 weeks of new tansk.

Yeah, Miguel I got you. Pm me if you want me to hook you up with some filter media to seed your tank.
