i would say best is about of 30 days. you can also use live bacteria in a bottle like instant ocean bio-spira and that will help and give you an instant cycle.
You mean like Dr tims ? what about Microbacter7?

Yes,
I'm not sure about microbactor, but Dr. tims One & Only will work as well as instant ocean biospira. Both have live bacteria in them.
I usually put a sponge in a cup and then pour the bacteria on it and let it sit for a few hours and then place inside the qt.
Ya ill do that, I dont want to wait for 30 days for a sponge to seed bacteria lol
