In this tutorial, I show how to fishless cycle a freshwater 5.5 gallon aquarium and how my first time experience goes, using ammonium chloride and live nitrifying bacteria from a bottle, by Dr. Tim's Aquatics. I recommend this cycling method and the products used.

Btw, I should have mentioned that high levels of nitrate is fine during cycling but not when you have fish. High levels can be harmful. The only way to keep the nitrate at a safe level is to do water changes and or have plenty of live plants in your tank.
Items needed for cycling tank: Dr. Tim's Ammonium Chloride and Live Nitrifying Bacteria and First Defense, the API Aquarium Water Test Kit, a heater, a filter, a substrate and decorations and plants. As well as patience and perseverance.
