Im new to thos hobby and have been doing a lot of research. I decided to do a tropical freshwater tank. I have a 60 gallon tank that i have completed and put the water in and started running the tank. Then i started learning about how long to cycle for and this is where im having my problem and have almost gotten to the point where i want to give up befpre ive even started.
I read forums where people say you can put a fish or 2 in right of the jump. Then ive read where some say wait 2 days. Manager at local petco says 2 days. Some other forums say six to eight weeks. Then i read replies where everyone contradicts everyone else. Im new to this and im about to lose my mind.. or maybe ill just call it a bubble tank.
Can someone please give me a simple solution, maybe break it down for me. Ive waited years for this and now i feel like giving up. What do i do? How do i go about it? I want to have a successful aquarium. Right now im running 2 undergravel filters and a hang on filter.. i was told this wouldnt hurt.. im lost .. i just want healthy fish in a healthy aquarium? Please help
