With both fish in and no fish cycling you require some test kits for both to measure levels and stages of the cycle.
with fish in you build the bacteria levels as you go and no fish should be tortured in the process as you will do water changes as ammonia etc rise.
Starting with 2 or 3 small fish, depending on size of tank and doing 1 or 2 20% water changes a week has always worked for me so long as an eye is kept on toxin levels.
Had him about 4 months, currently 4 foot tank at 16c temperature.
Caught locally about the size of a golfball originally,
probably Pinnoctopus cordiformis
Also Aquaworld nth shore, online as well wonderworld rotorua.
Sump as big as will fit in the cabinet allowing room for any other gear you may want to put in there.
I did this to heat my 3000 litre. It was fairly basic but ran the tank over winter. Without a thermostat control I would have cooked the fish, used 2 200 L insulated drums for overnight heating.
Sneaky2 has a system on the forum in reptiles and amphibs I think.
Yes you can but because of the way it is created it can contain heavy metals which require special tests to determine their prescence. IME I havent seen a marine tank containing scoria that has been running longer 12 months.
