First topic message reminder :

Hey all! Just got my first aquarium. I am attempting a cycle with fish, since im very impatient and didn't really know better at the time. I am under impression that with regular cleanings and light feeding that fish should cycle the tank in 6 weeks? Is there any thing i can do to speed that up? I don't know anyone else with fish tanks to get an old filter or anything off. I did purchase some "bacteria supplement" that im not sure if i should add or not. Any info or tips would be appreciated!

thanks. so my readings on my nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia, were zero for the past four days... does that by any chance mean it has cycled?
