	Filterless Cycling
Garofoli Big Fish Posts: 337 Kudos: 143 Votes: 27 Registered: 12-Apr-2006	Is it possible to cycle a tank w/o a filter? Can I just use a aerator? This weekend I am going to start cycling my summer tanks. The filter and lights wont come for about 5 days and I wont be there to put it in. I am planning on putting the plants in a seperate tank and put them in later. Chris

As long as you have a strong enough air pump and a working airstone it should work fine. but .. If you tank is big, say over 55 gallons, i dont think a cycle with out a filter would work. But im shure this wil work as long a you disrupt the surface water a good amount. >>>----> <----<<< pnh
