Ok I dumped some food in there. Probably too much but it's a big ol' can and it's a little too easy to dump. Anyways I'm hesitant to put any more in there since that should be quite a bit of nutrients and ammonia. But yeah, thanks for giving me the push I needed to do that. I think after I let that stew in there for a few days the tank should be ready for the fish. They may not love it at first but it should be ok.There are many different ways to cycle the tank. I feed my tank like there are fish in there 2-3 times a week. When ammonia is at 2ppm. Stop feeding. The bacteria you added is just a kick start. It needs to be fed with a source of ammonia. It is more humane to do a fish less cycle. We used to use damsels... then return them after the cycle
