You are encouraged to "do" at least one of the above in addition to using this method if using bacteria "boosters" in a bottle.

About Using Damsels, Other Life to Establish Cycling:

There are still some authors that encourage new aquarists to place fishes and/or invertebrates in new systems (as a source of ammonia, food for the bacteria) to start cycling. Often this stressful condition results in these animals loss. This practi

Such devices are better suited for very large systems, like public displays. Wave-timers with powerheads are likewise inferior to dedicated pumps producing random turbulent flow as their staccato operation increases wear on pumps in use while robbing the system of potential water flow during "off" cycles. Truly, the closed loop manifold described herein produces some of the most efficient water movement in the aquarium while insuring a good value of use (pump life and
