Hey Guys Im done cleaning my decor and tank and im ready to take another shot at the fish life. I was wondering if this idea would help my cylce process. I have an upsate house here in new york and i live near a creek. I was wondering could i fill my tank with some creek water? Would this be the same as established filter media scence its a natural eco system? I also purchised a bottle of cycle and i think i am going to use it. I think im going to use a blend of tap water and creek if this possible.

I dont think the creek water will help. it might come will some unwelcome guest also. Just wait it took my 55 gal 10 weeks to cycle it was almost unbearable at times but once you wait and everything starts working its great.

I agree just wait it toke my tank almost 2 months till it was cycled plus it will be worth it in the end if you wait
