It appears my 75 gallon tank is cycled. I knew I was getting close with high Nitrites and Nitrates. Did a water change to get the Nitrites to a readable level. Went every other day to add ammonia to 5ppm. Then this last Saturday I added my Ammonia in the afternoon. I checked my levels (Nitrite...

I have successfully fishless cycled a 15 gallon tank over 2 months ago and will be using it for seeding. In fact I just bought some Bio Max to put into my HOB filters on the 15 gallon to seed them so I can use them in my canisters to jump start the process. This Tank is going to be an African...

Picked up a nice 75 gallon tank and stand for $100. Working on getting components for it. Right now I am trying to decide on filtration. Here is what I am mulling over. (Just a note I plan on using sand as my substrate) Based on some recommendations here and other forums I seem to be leaning...

I am well on my way fishless cycling my 15 Gal Column tank. (Nitrite & Nitrate are spiking high and 4 ppm ammonia is reduced to nearly 0 in less than 24 hours.) I am now thinking ahead to stocking this tank. We currently have 3 mollies in a 5gal tank waiting to be moved (they are still young...
