How long would it take to cycle a 40 gal, bb tank with ammonia?
Water is well water @15 ppm nitrate.

4-6 weeks on average with ammonia or fish.

Thanks Mervin for the reply.What do you think of the ones on the market? How long do they take? to cycle.

So you're going to need to do daily water changes in the quarantine tank which means the tank doesn't have to be cycled. It can cycle thru their quarantine. Just keep your eye on the water parameters and keep up with water changes . Have done this method numerous times.

The DrTimAquatics additive will cycle a tank in 4 - 6 days versus starting with no inoculum.

I use Seachem Stability. I've used it according to label directions with great success.
