Here it goes
Ive mentioned before Im looking to get a roughly 12 gallon tank.
I am going tonight to look at them and decide. I had my eye on one last time I was in the LFS that was roughly 25 gallons.
I will be adding
Neons (8-10)
Small pleco (L-series I believe someone called it)
A catfish.
a Snail maybe 2.
Heres my main questions. I have read all the stuff here about fishless cycling and DEFINATLY plan on doing it.
1.) roughly how long does it take. I know it probably depends on your water and such but the process itself... is it 2 days, 5 days, 10 days?
2.) how often do I check the water for the nitrItes and nitrAtes, and how do I put he amonia in.... just dump it in, put it thru the filter, and how do I measure it?
3.) I do want to put all rocks and decorations in BEFORE i treat it forrect (from what I have read here it seems like i want the bacteria to grow on it.
have more questions but lol this darn thing they call work is bothering me again... i have to go back to it
Thanks for all the help ahead of time
glad I found this site
