Thanks, I can't wait till it's cycled. Went to the lfs and saw the gsps and I can't wait till I can bring one home. They just wanted to come with me, it was hard to not take one then. Need to have patience hopefully my tank finishes quickly it's said to look at an empty tank

Alright thanks that's I think the last question till I get my puffer I think. So how long do I have to run my filter before my tank is cycled? The water looks clear. It smells nice too. Just joking I'm using ammonia on the tank and using test drops. Already have high nitrite. Got ya to think I didn't know what I was doing though =P

There's no time frame, really. Some people manage it in a week to ten days; some have to go for a month or more. Usually it's closer to two weeks. Bumping the temp to 80-82 can help.

Yes, yes you did, I even typed the first couple words of my nearly automatic "yo Holmes, THIS is how you get your tank cycled, the LFS has been feeding you some BS" rant while simultaneously reading the rest of your post before I corrected and managing to replace that post with this one.
