Hello!
I am due to get my very first axolotl in two weeks. Yesterday I started reading threads and looking in to "cycling", because I wasn't quite sure what it was. I feel like an idiot now, because I had seen the term on a lot of websites, in the discussions on how to set up your new tank, but never looked it up until then.
I have been reading tutorials on how to cycle a tank, but most of them say it will take longer than two weeks to do... What should I do with my axie? I don't want to stress him out by putting him in a tank that isn't finished cycling. Are they ways to make the process move faster so my tank will be ready for him when he gets here?
And, I also don't really understand the whole process... Different tutorials say to do different things to start the cycle and keep it going. What do you find is the best way to start off a cycle in your tanks? And what keeps it going? Have you ever cycled a tank with an axolotl in it, and if so, how did you axie fair?
Sorry for the bombardment of questions, but I feel really lost, and I don't want to screw up and end up harming my axolotl.
Thanks in advance.
