I have to say that I have never done a fishless cycle before and it is hard to wait. The tank is just sitting empty and not having a fish tank is a bit difficult for me. I have had at least 1 tank set up for the past 5-6 years and right now having one empty and the other one cycling is driving me nuts. So I am spending my time shopping.
I bought new t5ho bulbs yesturday. I just got 4x 6500k's. I am having a hard time starting my 30g planted because its just going to be a lot of money to start it up. I have quite a bit of the money for it but I am having a hard time pulling the trigger because I think I am having a hard time totally walking away from saltwater and kind of want to just set up the 30g as a small reef but I know I will regret it.
I think I should of set my 30g planted up first because at least the plants would of given me something to look at and fiddle with
