FYI: Cycling A Tank

[argray90]

I have been doing a lot of research and it seems a vast majority of questions regard cycling a tank. I have found a few links that make cycling very easy to understand even a video at the bottom of one. Just trying to help some new people out. I am not trying to promote any products just makes it very easy to understand.

Just began my cycle using Dr. Tims One and Only with ammonia chloride, it says tank will fully cycle in 6-10 days I will keep everyone posted. My readings were ammonia 2 ppm just after I added the ammonia chloride. So in 2 days I will get the readings again and hopefully in 10 days the tank will be cycled.

After 6 days my tank is almost completely cycled. Added ammonia chloride to .25 ppm and this afternoon it was back at 0. Going to continue for 2 more days and if results fair well I will be adding my axolotls to tank.
