Waiting for a fish tank to cycle will take some time as you anxiously wait to add more goldfish to your aquarium. As I’ve mentioned before it can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks to completely cycle an aquarium. The good news is that you can help speed this process up and cycle a fish tank faster. Want to know how?
In order to cycle a fish tank faster you need beneficial bacteria for your aquarium right. Think, do you have any friends of yours that currently have an aquarium with goldfish. If you do, ask them for a cup or so of aquarium gravel from their fish tank. This will contain an abundance of beneficial bacteria for your tank. This is what will speed up your cycling process.
Another thing you can do is add some beneficial bacteria to your fish tank. You can buy some at most pet stores. This is a liquid that contains bacteria that helps for new fish tank set ups and when you perform water changes. This will keep the levels of beneficial bacteria stable in your aquarium.
This is a method to help you cycle your fish tank faster. Please note however you need to still follow proper maintenance to keep the ecosystem running properly. Proper aquarium care will help your goldfish stay healthy and disease free.
