Cycling Tank.
So I purchased a piranha. The previous owner has thrown his original water away by accident which has resulted in my tank starting from scratch. i.e. Tap water (used water conditioner and cycle).
I have only had the tank going for 48hrs.
Do I need to cycle the tank everyday? for 2 weeks?
I.e.
1. Grab a bucket empty out 10%-20% of the tank.
2. Get 10%-20% for re-fill from tap ... get to correct temperature, water condition and add 'cycle'.
3. Pour water back into tank
Is This correct?
