That should be fine. It seems as if the fishless cycle is the better method of cycling the tank.

Should I follow the directions of that link, but then use 2 ppm instead of 4?

How do you recommend doing a fish less cycle?

Thanks for the advice! I was planning to get the marine land biowheel ten gallon. Any recommendations for a better tank? And is the biowheel a good first tank?

I believe that it is a high quality piece if furniture. It is made by Stanley and is ten years old, but still in perfect condition. Here it is.

My dresser is high quality, so I think it should be fine. I read that some people put much bigger tanks on dressers, and have no problems. The wood in between the top of the dresser and the first drawer is at least 1 1/2 inches thick of solid wood, which has numerous supports attached to it...

Another question: My dad is concerned about if my dresser can support the ten gallon tank. It is 1.5' by 2.5' and 3.5' tall and it is made of solid wood. Could it support a ten gallon tank? Any advice is gladly appreciated.

What do you recommend when it comes to a fishless cycle? And how long should it take for a ten gallon?

One more question: I think this is the route I will go with stocking the ten gallon: 1 dwarf gourami 5 or 6 neons If this will overstock or under stock the tank, let me know. Thanks in advance!

Why do they give out goldfish, rather than other fish who are suitable for a small tank?

Thanks!

I know right! I was planning to order it in the beginning of November, when my fourteenth birthday rolled around. I started looking early so that I can have time to really see which tank I should get. This gives me time to change my mind, which I did today.

Based on that list, the largest I could go would be a fifteen. The ideal size tank for my dresser is the ten gallon. I still have plenty of room on my dresser, which I will need for food, test kits, etc.

The dresser in which the tank will go on has a flat 30 inch by 17 inch dresser. Even with a ten gallon, my space is limited. But I will try to find a bigger tank within my budget.

Actually, I was just planning for when I get it. I think that the BioWheel is a better option than the 8 gallon aqueon evolve. It's bigger and wider. And it's affordable. I believe that the BioWheel is my best bet. A 10 gallon tank has a lot more options for stocking than an 8 gallon.
