Setting up a new ten gallon for some DPs :D
In about a month I am going to be setting up a ten gallon for some DPs. I know that they need over filtration and lots of plants but is there anything else I need to know? Also, when I was cycling my 35 gallon I did not like having to wait for a month for the tank to cycle, so I would like to know the fastest way to cycle an aquarium.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

Get some Bio-Spira & pour into your filter right before adding your puffers. DO NOT LET THE SHOP SELL YOU ANY OTHER PRODUCT! This is the ONLY product that contains LIVE bacteria to instant-cyle your tank.

I don't believe Biospira is available in Canada. I think its only available in the US, but I could be wrong. If you can't get it, use some filter media, gravel, decor, etc., from your established cycled tank to help seed the new tank.

Oops, I didn't look to see where you are from. And I was just complaining about folks not filling that out in their profile. Good article on Fishless Cycling in our Library.
