Bacteria Cycle

[typhoon]

i read that the bottled bacteria etc to kick start the cycle dont really work! but i added a bottle of stress zyme over 3 days and the moss and growth on the rocks in my fish tank has gone crazy! its great all my levels are good and correct so im going to order my fish and then they will be here in 1 week!

i've heard of some people having luck with these types of things and others have not. wonder what makes the difference.

it seems to work for some!

lol you could chuck a handful of garden soil in your tank, that contains the bacteria, then, sorry to be crude, pee in your tank!!! that will provide the ammonia for the bacteria to live on. not the thing to do with a fish cycle, though.lol
