i'm so glad everybody is ok! i couldn't breathe til i got to the end of the story....

will do! thanks so much for all the help!

Is my cycle moving again? :multi: Ammonia is down to 1 ppm! Yea! :multi: Nitrites seem to be still at 1 ppm, but ammonia was definitely down, so I seem to be moving again, right?, or is it just wishful thinking? (ps, just checked nitrates and they are up too!!!) Just to doublecheck, should I...

I've been looking at a lot of planted tank pictures lately to try to work up the guts to try it, and I really think this is one of my favorites! I can't think of another one this early in that looked this good. Keeping updating the pictures, please!

Thanks! Your tanks are amazing too! Gives me something to shoot for

Good-I've been keeping the lights off! I really wanted to try bio-spira too, but couldn't find any (in South Dakota, go figure:) but then i read a post about a week ago, i'll try to think of where I saw it, that said they had stopped making it a few months ago and that the inventor was starting...

Thanks, guys! I'll try another water change and see if I can get some more filter stuff from my friend. I'll try the fish food too. Does anybody have recommendations on whether I should keep the light on or off? Yeah, the Cycle stuff is definitely not magical, but I figured, meh, if it means I...

Hi, Melosu! Thank you, too! And great website!! The color combos in your tank are fantasic.

Hi, Copepod! Thanks for the hello. As soon as I saw the word "Co2," I backed away from the planted tank idea as quickly as I could LOL! But the idea of a whole little ecosystem is too neat, and the people in the know make me feel more confident, so someday soon.... Someday, too, I would LOVE a...

Hi! Just joined the forum-I've been on leave from work for a few months for health reason and been obsessively researching in order to research starting up a tank again. This turned out to be one of my favorite sites for advice--and the people seemed the nicest;) I'm on day 17 of a fishless...

Hi, everybody! I'm new on the forum, and REALLY need some help deciding whether I can salvage the fishless cycle I'm doing or if I need to start over;) I hurt my back pretty bad a few months ago and decided that since I'm going to be spending more time at home, I might as well get my old tank...
