New Guy

Post by Rudy »

Greetings everyone, I'm new to the forum. Currently two days into cycling a brand new 20 gal tank that will eventually be home to a F8 and I'm impatient as hell!
Anyway, looking forward to gaining more knowledge from you experienced folks!

Cycling with two black mollies, I added Tetra Safe Start Plus just prior to the fish, I am now three days into the cycling and haven't seen any real significant spike of ammonia yet.
I feed the mollies once a day and only a couple of flakes each, they are very active and are showing no signs of stress. Any recommendations or just stay the course, keep testing and wait?
