BIOLOGISTS CLAIM CYCLING YOUR TANK IS A MYTH

Why do you cycle your tank? Why is the nitrogen cycle so misunderstood? The nitrogen cycle is an important yet minor step in the journey to make your natural aquarium stable. Father Fish along with bonafide biologists Laura Dietrich and Maiev Sekashi will discuss the key elements of the nitrogen cycle and how you can kickstart your aquarium on DAY ONE!
