Cycled Tank Question II

[mason.163 at osu_edu (Matthew T. Mason)]

APDers,

The response was great.  My post was also a chance to see if we still had
the ability to discuss issues rather than bickering.

Part II:  Is it better to cycle with or without plants?
        -It seems that plants may help buffer the cycle by consuming some
of the ammonia and nitrites thus allowing the bacterias to colonize and the
fish not to get stressed out.
        -Is cycling with plants guaranteed to prolong the cycle?
