Hey all, just registered because I've started keeping fish again (have done so on two previous occasions for a few years at a time so I know at least a little bit about it!)
I have a 13 gal tank up and running and it's all fine but I've just acquired a 2.5gal tank for either segregation or breeding and I was just wondering if anyone else had done this with a small tank and how they started it? Right now I have it filled, de-chlorified and it has a heater and filter running in it. The filter is a bit too strong I think so I might just switch it on periodically, give my fish a bit of exercise! I just have it running to cycle it, but I've read that this might not be necessary.
How long should it run before I start to put fish in?
Cheers!
