    as above..
    will be getting new gravel for my 22cmx15cmx18cm tank..
    c328 uncle recommanded me one of the gravel used for planted tanks..
    reddish in colour.. price wise is quite cheap.. don't really know what gravel is that.
    what is the shortest cycle i can have with all plants and gravel inside with a hangon filter(250l/hr)?
    and to achieve shortest cycle time, do i need to do 50% or more WC every day?
    thanks in advance

    if you already have a cycled tank, take some filter media from it and put it in your new filter to seed it...that way you cut down cycling time by alot. fastest cycle i've done with unseeded media is 2 weeks, but that's with healthy doses of bottled beneficial bacteria cultures and some hardy fish in to provide waste
