Hello I Want To Know Do I Put Gravel And Decorations In The Tank Before Cycling Or After

Hey there. You'd put them all in before cycling. The gravel is a great place for the beneficial bacteria to grow. After your filter, the gravel is where a lot of your bacteria will colonize. Are you planning on doing a fishless cycle?

Decorations = more surface for good bacteria.

So decorations are a great thing for a tank and only help it the earlier they are in there.
