Aquarium cycling (NOT the bicycle sport) is a term most outside of the hobby don't understand. However, cycling your fish tank is arguably the most important factor every fish or shrimp owner, beginner to expert has to master to have their livestock survive longer than a week. There are a few factors that can effect your aquarium cycle as well as some things you can do to help speed it up. I try to cover all of them in today's quick guide!
To cycle your aquarium is to remove all the toxic chemicals from your aquarium’s ecosystem by creating a healthy amount of beneficial bacteria as part of the tank’s biological filter. This is very important because all newly set-up fish tanks have dangerously high amounts of toxins, namely ammonia. Without cycling, this will cause major stress and illness to your fish leading to them dying within a few days. To sum up briefly, in a full cycling process the toxins in the water start off as ammonia, become nitrite, and finally gets digested to become nitrate.
