Quick Question about cycling, best practice

[AxolRose]

So i tried searching through the forums for "cycling" (seems a popular term, lots of related and unrelated stuff). I had found at one point a How-to using pure ammonia as the initial starter, but can't seem to find it now.

Does anyone here have a site/ forum topic, etc. they use when cycling? I could use a good guideline to follow. I just set-up my new 30 gallon tank and filled it 1/2 way with new water. Have an Eheim 2231 on order as well.

thanks
