I used a semi cycled filter, I just got a pinguin bio wheel that I put in the tank 2 weeks ago, as the filter that came with the tank was no sufficient. From what I have read in the ecology of the planted aquarium you don't need to have a cycled filter, or really even a filter. I'm pretty sure that my tank is cycling right now. It's still all cloudy, but clearing quickly.
