My previous tank was cycled using flake food which was messy, took a long time despite using some old filter media, and resulted in unwanted algae (that I'm sure could have been avoided). I want to learn from this!
I was thinking of using household ammonia from Homebase keeping at 5ppm and changing 50% water everyday to keep down organic waste. However I was going to use Aquasoil again in my tank, would this be a good enough ammonia source by itself during the first few weeks?
I hope I havn't double posted this question, I searched but couldn't find an exact 'guide'.
Does anyone have any tips for the best way of cycling the planted tank? Maybe we could make a guide/sticky of the best way?!
Thanks,
Neil
