I'm starting a 150 gallon tank. I usually do a fish cycle, but this time I'm going to use fish and bio-spira. This is my first "big" tank. How much bio spira am i going to need, and what kind and how many fish will I need? Will the cycle process take about 2 weeks, if not, how long? Also, how much media and substrate should I use?

I would go with 2 packages of 3oz biospira. But when I've cycled tanks I haven't relied solely on it.

Additionally try to add any media, water, and substrate you have from an existing tank. I normally will scoop up cups of substrate from an established tank and place them in the new tank. Then when the cycle is done I'll put the substrate back in it's original tank.

And make sure to test the water everyday!
