Hey AA Board,
First let me thank all contributors for the abundance of useful information for new aquarium owners like myself. Before registering for the board, I tried to read most of the posts here and elsewhere suited toward beginners like myself. I'm taking things slowly and starting with a small tank and eventually just 1 fish. Below is everything I have for my aquarium:
~ Fluval 5 Gallon Spec V (rinsed with water upon arrival)
~ 5 Gallons of filtered distilled water
~ A bottle of Fluval biological enhancer and a bottle of Fluval water conditioner
~ Tetra easy test strips 6 in 1
~ 5 lb bag of Stoney River white aquatic sand (will rinse in bucket)
~ 5 pieces of 6 inch long natural cholla wood (will rinse in bucket) (probably won't place all 5.)
~ 1 lb bag of Hewnda decorative glass beads. (will rinse in bucket)
~ May buy a heater when I decide on the fish. Currently considering neon tetra, red barbs, and fantail guppies.
Again, I'm taking it slow and starting with the basics. Anything I forgot to cover before I start cycling?
Thanks in advance.
