Hi, All
I have just started a fishless cycle on my new 4-foot, 75 gallon tank, Eheim 2026 filter. I have a couple of questions. (1) I have been using Cloudy Ammonia to kickstart the cycling process (no ingredients listed on the bottle). Is Cloudy Ammonia bad? (2) I am cycling without the plants - do I have to wait until the end of the cycling process to add the plants i.e. when the ammonia and nitrite levels are zero? or can I add the plants during the cycling process? (3) I am currently curing some driftwood while the cycling process continues. Can I add the driftwood to the tank while it is still cycling?
Thanks for your help. I am a complete beginner and would appreciate your advice.
