I know this has probably been gone over many, many times, but I just want to make sure. Is the only point to cycling to allow the bacteria to grow? So theoretically, if the ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are all 0 after two days, then it's safe to begin to add fish? ( I know this doesn't happen, humor me)
