Hey guys, another question for ya!
Ill be posting pictures of my finished carpentry for my 29 gal tank hopefully soon!
But another question pop up, for the new tank I would like to get a substrate that would enhance the tank and the fish, yet be fairly easy to keep clean... only thing I want there is good bacteria... so I was thinking to go with sand... is it possible to do sand for a fresh water aquarium, if so, any added benefits vs using prebless ( currently what I have ), and where and which type of sand can be used?!!!
One more thing!... Has anyone used a product called "Cycle" before, and how good is it really to cycle a tank? I got plenty of ammonia in the tank so am trying to get it under control, but wanted your opinion on it... aside from the SAND one above.. : )
I thank you all for your answers in advance.
PS. Update on my 10 gal tank: for those that had helped me before, I got a hold of the ammonia cycling problem I think. I did another PWC, this time 60%, and added some Blend of activated charcoal and ammonia extracting crystal thingy into my small power filter. The read for ammonia before the addition of the blend thing was .25 or .50 ( not very easy to tell the difference with so close shades of green yellow!!!)
