Let me congratulate you on your patience...I followed your progress and I know how tough it was.

Now you can go and get that additional tank!

i already got the additional tank...haha...i set up the 29gal last saturday and i started a fishless cycle...since i know a little bit more now im not planning on torturing fish anymore...and yes...it was a long long process to cycle the little 5gal and lots of water changes...but it happened...in the meantime ive read every single post here i think...but like i said before...it was mainly because of all the advice i received here...if it wasnt for that i would still be grabbing my head and try to figure out why my fish keep dying...and probably i would still be listening to the advice from the fishyman at the lfs...hehe...thanks again...

Way to go, Patagonia. You did it. The fishless cycle will be a breeze after what you've just been through. Kick back and relax.
