Hello.
I'm new to this hobby but have learned a lot from reading this forum.
I pretty much know ( ) the cycling process.
I am buying a Wally world 10 gal delux tank and will give the fishless cycle a shot.
I will obviously need a test kit of some sort. I was reading a thread that said the test strip type is not too accurate. Is this true?
If so, what do YOU use. I searched for the electronic types.....but......I'm not about to spend 1 to $250 on one of those.
So, what works that doesn't cost a fortune?
Plans:
Freshwater/ fake plants(no live plants...yet) / rock and decorations for hiding/ water temp of about 78*/ small Air pump.
Stock:
2 or three Fancy Guppies, Male Beta. When needed down the road a sucker fish (can NEVER spell it) 1 African Algae eater (bottom feeder) .
