Why Even Bother Cycling Your Aquarium? Cycling your tank is key to keeping your fish safe and your water stable. It helps build up the good bacteria that break down ammonia and nitrite. But you might need to cycle more than once—especially after using meds or losing power. In saltwater tanks, low oxygen can lead to bacteria making hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. If you catch that smell, it’s a sign to deep clean and start fresh. Staying on top of your cycle keeps your tank healt

Tank Cycling Isn’t What It Used To Be Old methods of cycling a tank, like using dead food, don’t work well. Adding live fish too early can cause stress and future issues. A better option is fishless cycling using ammonia drops. It’s cleaner, more reliable, and gets your tank ready in about 9 to 12 days. Follow for more easy and painless techniques to quickly cycle your aquarium. #AquariumCycling #FishlessCycling #AquariumMaintenance | DrTims Aquatics
