Oops spelled GRAVEYARD WRONG
So what I did to cycle this dirted 30 gallon with osmocote plus and organic garden dolomite lime sprinkled on the bottom with eco complete cap. Squeezed out established filter media in the tank till it got so murky, it was black. Detritus settled at the bottom so added a wavemaker pointing to the two filters ( AC70 and Penguin 200 I think) until it was cleared up. Added 25 minnows, all but 3 died.
Do I leave some if the fish's bodies in there for ammonia or take them out?
Was it a bad idea to put plants in?
Where do I go from here?
