I'm going to be in the same boat in about 6 months.

I've cycled a couple nanos in a day and will use much the same principle but in a much larger scale. Lots of mulm, Stability and ammonia. I'm going to let my tank run with dechlorinated water for a couple days to stabilize. Then I'll clean a couple cannister filters in the water and add the mulm from all the water changes from my other tanks. Then I'll add ammonia to reach 3 or 5 ppm (depends on initial bioload) and Stability to the recommended dose. Then start testing and waiting. It will be alot harder for my Aro tank as it won't be planted like my nanos but I am also putting a very low bioload initially.

Good luck and keep us posted on how the cycle goes.

Well after many months of anguish here it is.
Still got work to do on the lighting, and aquascaping. Also i might change my pump to a bigger one but for now this is what it is.
