Fish Crazy
I'm not brand new to cycling tanks, but I've never included live plants in a set-up before my current shrimp tank, and that was AFTER I had cycled it. I definitely plan on adding a bunch of red root floaters and SOME others... haven't decided on the planted ones, yet. My concern is whether putting my floaters in the tank while doing a normal fishless cycle would deplete the ammonia, nitrites, etc. prematurely and it thus wouldn't actually cycle. It won't be heavily planted enough to do a plant-in cycle... I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!
