Aquarium Advice Newbie
I stumbled upon this site a week ago and have been spending a ton of time reading and learning. Great info here.
I'm currently in the process of finishing my basement. In doing so, I have built in a 155 gallon bowed-front aquarium in one of the walls. This might sound strange, but I've never had fish before. But, I've always wanted to have something like this liven up a wall.
I've read up on cycling a tank and wanted to get some thoughts. I'm not in a rush, just want to do it right. Alot of the posts I've read refer to 10 and 20 gallon tanks. Since I have a larger tank, does this mean it will take considerably longer to cycle the tank?
I'm planning on using about 10 danios to begin. I've seen anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to wait prior to adding anything else. Is it possible to not have enough fish in a tank for a proper cycling?
Thanks in advance for your help. (And thank you to everyone who has contributed here. I've learned alot.)
