Starting some RCS Seems like I've been cycling tanks forever! I've had a 6 gallon desktop going for a few weeks with some male Endlers and 3 Mystery Snails. My 20 gal. long finally finished cycling last week, so I moved the Endlers and 2 snails into it, leaving my 6 gal ready for some Red...

Last night I had two Red Cherry shrimp fighting over the same piece of food pellet for about 5 minutes. One finally gave up and wandered off and picked up one of the other pieces lying on the sand about an inch away. Then the Mystery Snail came through and broke up the feeding frenzy for a...

My 20 gal long. Just finished cycling last week. Now home to 7 male Endlers and 2 Mystery snails while I ponder stocking ideas.

20 Gallon Long, Just finished cycling.

My 20 Long finished fishless cycling earlier in the week, so I ran a couple of ammonia doses during the week to verify it cleared it all in 24 hours. Friday night did a 95%+ WC. Saturday morning transferred 7 male Endlers and 2 Mystery snails from the 6gal desktop to the 20 Long. In that...

Looks like my 6G desktop finished cycling last Sunday. Ran a few more cycles of dosing Ammonia the first part of the week to verify it processes it all the way to Nitrate with zero Ammonia & Nitrite within 24 hours. Looks like it does it in a little less than 24 hours. Did a massive WC this...

Been cycling a 6g desktop for almost 3 weeks. Looks like it's about ready for fish. Think I'll try to get some RCS for it over the Jul. 4th holiday weekend. Planted some Java Moss on a piece of Cholla wood in the 6g last night. Also cycling a 20L about a week behind the 6g. Expecting a new...

I strongly suggest you look at some of the stickys regarding fishless cycling or google it and study. The cycling process usually takes WEEKS...not hours or a couple of days, unless you seed the filter with media from a already properly running tank. Even with the bottled start up stuff, it...
