Hello!
I started a fishless cycle this week.. so far all i have done is
Wipe out the inside of the tank with boiled water, washed the gravel through until the water ran clear.
Put in a couple of airstones under the gravel and added a piece of bogwood and a fake reed.
Filled the tank with water treated with de-chlorinator.
I set the filter pump going and the heater and the bubbles.
I'm waiting for the test kit to arrive (should be monday or tuesday) then my mate is going to donate me some bacteria from their tank's filter.
Only problem is, the water's gone a bit misty and the bogwood appears to have what looks like a cobwebby covering, it looks kinda.. fuzzy.
Obv, i'm a total newbie.. but the last time i saw anything like this was an experiment "making" DNA!
No fish are in danger, of course, as i have none at present but i would like to know what's causing this webby, milky, fuzziness and is it a bad thing?
