I am in the process of setting up a 10g nursery tank for my electric blue jack dempseys. I don't want the 3/4 in ebjd's competing for food with the angels and rainbows in the main 70g tank. When I bought the 10g and filter, the guy at the Lfs suggested that since I had an established 70g that I should quick cycle the tank with some sand substrate in a pantyhose. He didn't elaborate any further and went to serve a customer.
So now I have the murderer setup, with the filter and a cup of sand from my 70 hanging in pantyhose. How long will it have to hang there and how long should I have to wait outing the babies in? I will be picking up the heater and aerator tomorrow sometime.
Any other advise given would be greatly appreciated. Also feel free to ask me any questions.
Thx
