    A cycle is the most important time for a tank. Rush the cycle and you will have problems down the line.

    Use your cycle time to get your water chemistry all set.

    Remember every time you add something you have a minicycle.

    Plain ol' bleach- a few cap fulls and you kill nothing (cept bad stuff), let it cycle thru and your good to go.

    Yeah I've read this before too and just cant recommend it myself, not with the amusement park I call my body. lol. This is like if me & Dennis Rodman crash a plane on a mountain I could kill him and eat him for food to survive. Sure it would work, but so would waiting for resuce.
