cycling

Post by wngt368 »

If i was to cycle my tank again, would it be better to just leave the feeder guppy in the tank or remove him to do so. i have some media in the fish tank from a different tank and also its been running for about 1-2 weeks but with water changes etc.

How do you plan on cycling?
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Read the Fishless Cycling article in our Library. I wouldn't do it with a fish in there though. Hence, the "fishless" part. ;)
