thats all well and good but i'm afraid you'll run into the same cycle issue... to cycle your tank its going to take roughly 1-2 months.
however i did just remember you mentioned a friend had a tank running... how long has your friends tank been running??
I can still make do with a fish less cycle, and the ghost knife rarely comes out of his cave, unless the lights are off, which they are off all day, until dinner time, then around 10pm I turn them off. My friend has a 24 gallon running, she has to ask her dad how long they've had it running, all we know is that it's been running for running at least 10 years.
