I went with ammonia dosing to start instead of fish just because I would have never gotten mollies back out.

I like the look of rock breaching the water surface but don't know how practical it is for a tank with fish since most seem to jump.

Daily Bonus Video Entry:

What was interesting was Blaine trying to not burst out laughing as Taras describes things in his passionate, humorous way -which I love by the way!

Actually did learn on a deeper level about why we take each step; and made the whole beginning journey that much more meaningful too me

I think not only adding a fish before the ugly phase but 1 or 2 cheap corals also helps populate the necessary bacteria and pods that stabilize a system.

One of the best thing about the hobby these days is the products that help new tanks get through the ugly phase.

Used microbacter start in my system as well. It was a great choice.

Daily bonus: definitely interested in the precycled bio media. Will be considering for my upcoming build.

I too am a user of the bag trick for minimizing cloudiness when filling the tank. However I do prefer "slow cycling" verse any of the quick cycling products.
