    New tank cycle

    I set up a new tank using RO water and apt feast aquasoil. The ph is below 6 and ammonia is above 8ppm. I just set it up yesterday and I didn’t dose any ammonia. Should I do a water change to get ammonia under 4ppm? I’m doing a dark start.

    Question of the Day Is cycling even a thing in planted aquariums today?

    I remember cycling being one of the biggest discussion points with hobbyists. Now, it's hardly mentioned or discussed. Why is that? What do you do now-a-days? Put it together and don't even worry about cycling or do you have a specific cycle technique? What about bottled bacteria?
