Thank you so much. That article was very helpful and I learned a lot. I knew I wasn't doing something right. I am not parting with my DW, so I will use your methods to remove the tannins. I'm doing a 50% WC right now. I'll post pics when I'm done with it.

So why did he ask that final question? What I meant was what are the consequences about not following the steps to let it cycle properly. Am I doing anything wrong?

The day by day run down of my set up is in my first post. I have florencent lightings, total of 80 watts, and they run 10-12 hours. I've read up about cycling, but decided to start right away. Is it that important? What are the consequences of not letting it cycle? Edit: Picture is on its way.

:fish2:To start-up my 150 gallon freshwater tank, I am thinking about beginning with bottom dwellers: Loaches, Cory Cats, ghost shrimps, etc. Is this is a good idea as the aquarium gets used to the ammonia levels? :thanks:

My 150 gallonfresh water tank is very tall. I need to know how many inches of sand will I place on the bottom? i want to at least have 4 to 5 inches. is that ok? Also, i want to stack many rocks on top of each other. Can the aquarium break? :thanks:
