Hi I'm new to the site and was wondering if I still need to cycle my new tank if I use Eco-Complete African Cichlid Substrates 20 lbs
Item #: CD-79402(White Sand). I've used shrimp in a bag and Dr. Tims Ammonium Chloride in the past, but was told I can use this sand and it would cycle the tank for me and I would be able to add fish right away. Please let me know if this is true.
Also, I have a 125 gallon tank, would five 20 pound bags be enough to get me a 1.5 inch bed of substrate?
Tank Dimensions: 72 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 23 3/8
Many thanks
