Interesting how folks say what they would not do, but do not offer what they would do instead
Please enlighten me as to how you would cycle a a bare tank that will possibly be used to treat ich (or other diseases), then get it ready for occupancy. Also enlighten me on the care of the tank once the fish are in it for a 6+ weeks for treatment (probably hyposalinity), to keep nitate low when foams have already become nitrate factories.
Keep in mind that the tank had been moderately fed for 2 months with fish food, had lots of cyanobacteria on glass and pvc, and nitrate levels of 10-15 ppm.
