My tank has finally cycled. (huge huge smile over here)
My filter is looking quite nasty and has some slimy stuff on it. when is it safe to change my filter? I'm afraid of getting rid of my bacteria when I change it and messing up my tank (again)!
My husband is also extremely hesitant to vacuum the bottom - I tell him we need to do it some to get up the junk but he is also afraid to vacuum up the good bacteria.
Now if I could just get my fish to stop hiding and come out and play I would really be enjoying this!!
