@keyair123

cyclely the tank is adding decaying mass to the tank so that bactria can grow. this bactria is what brakes down the fish poo and other decaying matter. If you add fish when cycling they may die from high amonia levels. During the cycle amonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels will riase and fall while the bactria spreads.

Do I need a biological additive if I have some gravel and a filter from another aquarium?

1. Do you just use tap water to fill the tank? Bottled?
2. What’s a GFCI outlet? Is it the same as a surge protector?

@saltwaterfishguy427 all you need is to find the pretty fish, like the l183!
