Hello everyone. After 32 days my 30L tank is now fully cycled. ammonia and nitrites are zero after less than 24 hour intervals. Just dosing it with 1 ppm at the moment until next weekend. I am away next week so I have to wait until next weekend to get fish
Just a few questions to all you experts out there:
1. I have to change my gravel to sand as I am getting pygmy or dwarf corys. A few people have told me that my gravel is not fine enough for them. I thought that the best way to do this is remove gravel and put sand in when I'm doing my big 90% water change the day before I get the fish? I would have loved to put the sand in this weekend but cant figure out how to do that without taking out most of the water.
2. I have decided to get my male betta and the 4 pygmy/dwarf corys at the same time. Any extra advice on how to introduce them into the tank, eg. who do I put in first?
3. Any suggestions on food for the corys and betta? I have some small discs at the moment but they wont sink which I gather wont work with the corys?
4. If I do have a few extra bucks and I can get the aquaclear filter, can I transfer my filter wool and ceramic noodles straight from my corner filter?
That's all for now. Im sure I will be back with more beginner questions during this week.
Have a good weekend everyone
