Ten Gallon Fishless Cycle

Note the color of the SeaChem ammonia indicator. There is enough ammonia in there to kill a fish. The plant is hornwort I bought at PetSmart to seed the aquarium with nitrifying bacteria. The rock I collected from Two Run Creek in Georgia. The gravel is PetCo store brand I got on sale. For filters I am using an ATI foam filter and a Hagen AquaClear hang on the back power filter. The canopy, striplight and heater are DeepBlue.  The aquarium I got almost free from Craigs list.
