Sorry, I should have said size etc before now. Tank is a Juwel Rio 180 litre, (approx 47 US gallons), with standard filter that comes with it, it's a Bioflow 3.0 or 6.0. Have sand instead of gravel, 2 large pieces and 1 smaller piece of bogwood, lots of plants, couple of rocks and 3 air stones...

May sound a bit sad but I'm well chuffed at getting to this point. When you gonna get some fish? I got no idea what I'm gonna go for yet, think I'll just poke around the local shops and take some advice from them.

Thanks to all. I'll give it a try.

Hi, Just in the process of fish less cycling and all is going well so far. Added ammonia a week ago and it's started dropping, nitrites up to 3ppm and nitrates up to 110ppm. Assume nitrates have gone up so quick because I got a filter pad from an established tank but didn't expect them to get...

Thanks Mumma, tank has just been delivered so will give it a clean and start setting it up tonight. Can't wait..!!

Hi. Someone else has mentioned starting with tetras. Thanks for the advise.

180 litre. Like variety so leaning toward community.

Thanks for that. I think I'll go that way. No idea what fish I'm gonna go for though, haven't started looking yet.
