Me and my boyfriend just bought a used 55 gallon tank today on Craigslist. Right now I'm sanding down the stand and going to repaint it.It has some nooks in it. However, the tank and filters are brand new.My question. How do you properly cycle a tank this large. We are used to 10 and 20 gallon tanks. This is our first 55. We have some decor we want to take out of a tank in use… without disturbing the fish of course. We want to set this new 55 up with all the decor. Our plan is to let it run for an entire week and then add our 2 fantail gold fish and 2 plecos in it. I would like some tips on cycling. We have the ph test, nitrates, and ammonia tests.Is our plan okay?
