Best way to cycle is to put a dead shrimp in it


The best way to cycle is pure ammonia, which can be purchased at ACE hardware. Make sure it's pure and doesn't foam when the bottle is shaked.

This is the best and only way you should cycle a new tank; especially with finicky salt water fish. The process takes longer, but it allows you to pinpoint when the bacteria is in sufficient numbers to process the ammonia and ammonium. Google "fishless cycle."
