I have been reading up on this and I am getting closer and closer to starting fishless cycles with these tanks, 1-125 gallon, 2-55 gallon, and at least 10-10 gallon tanks.

So everyone throw out ther favorite links and/or books, besides here, that describe how to start and finish a fishless cycle.

The more simple and anal step-by-step the better. Like someone explaning it to a five year-old would probably be the best. The less guessing, like "why do you do that?" the better.

Thank you.

Here are the essential step-by-steps.

Steps:
[font color="#008000"]1.[/font] Add Dechlorinator
[font color="#008000"]2.[/font] Add X ammount of "Pure Ammonia" until it reads 5ppm
[font color="#008000"]3.[/font] Continue to add X amount of ammonia daily
[font color="#008000"]4.[/font] Reduce ammonia to half of X when nitrite spike occurs
[font color="#008000"]5.[/font] Continue to add half of X daily
[font color="#008000"]6.[/font] Once ammonia and nitrite becomes 0, do water change.
[font color="#008000"]7.[/font] Cycle complete, add entire stocklist!
