nwood, very simply put, set it and dont touch it for a month, just test every so often for nitrites and nitrates, if you see nitrite coming out off the effluent you could always redirect the output to a bucket and let the cycle pass, i had mine for almost to months, its not working really well because off 2 reasons, i transfered the tank to a new one and had to disconect my denitrifier which when i hooked it back up it got a lot of air and oxigen pump into it, and second i had problems with the injecting pump and had to replaced which caused the same problem, right now it has been running for 2 weeks with an outflow off 1 drop per second, and now its just a waiting game. hope this helps
just remember, if you have a lot of flow coming out of this thing it will be a nitrate factory, if you have to slow of a flow it will create hydrogen sulfide that might crash your tank, just test and test and test.
sana
