Dennis_said Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Yep! Shrimpies help! Hehe just pop one in... or anything that will deteriorate to jump start your cycle... I'm new to this too, but I think that's how it works... Somebody even said peeing in it works! Link to comment
cuteios Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I'm starting mine with a sacrificial lamb...I mean fish. But that approach isn't very popular with the people around here. Someone even suggested peeing into the tank to start things off...talk about a wild idea. Link to comment
