And just an FYI, I wouldnt cycle a tank with a massive fish. The first time he poops, your non existent biological filter will be over run and ammonia will spike.
You'd be better off cycling either "naturally" by dropping pieces of dead meat like shrimp, or else with some small fish, or one of the bottled bacteria packages.
