Aquarium Advice Newbie
I need some advice, i have just bought my first major aquarium in over 7 years, i know about cycling the tank but unfortunatly i told my wife the nak was ready and she mistook it meaning that fish could be put in. Now my wife has 10 fish in there and the tank has only been cycling for 24 1/2 days, i was able to put some new filter material in my friends tank since thursday and i added that material today to help im hoping that bacteria had grew and can help.
