Newbie- sorry if this posts weird!
What is so complicated about using plain ammonia to cycle a tank, with, or without, used material to provide some seeding of the bacteria? Simply add enough ammonia each day to get to 5 ppm until it is consumed each day, and both the ammonia and nitrites measure 0, then you can safely add a number of fish, or fully stock the tank.
