Better haha , I read about the fish less cycle but after a discussion with someone at my local pet shop chose to do it with 4 Molly's, was this a wise move?.
I have only had the tank up and running a few days, and only had the fish in a day, they seem happy and active, tomorrow I will test the ammonia and go from there.
Thanks for the welcome guys!.

Either way works and if done correctly fish in cycles aren't harmful on the fish just need to do more water changes.

I will stay on top of it, il stay posted on here with how it's going.

Thought they were real plants Elodea i think,ya can't always tell on pics.
They are built in with the tank mate,came with it,they are energy saving bulbs,one daylight and one moonlight,i think you can get them,mine are easy,u have 2 switches on top of hood tht contain the bulbs so its easy to switch them on.
Have you tried looking on internet as im sure you can get them,what light have you got fluorescent tube is it ?
