Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi
Complete newcomer to the hobby, apologies if any of my questions have already been covered/ are very basic.
I have set up my first aquarium, the fish sticking I am still unsure about. My initial concern is the tinge to the water, which after researching seems to be from the new wood. I did not prepare the wood part from a swill so will this tinge subside or remain forever?
The aquarium is 100litres, running on an external filtration. I have been enjoying watching the vast amount of content online regarding cycling the filter and attaining the correct water parameters, but there’s not a lot of info about timescales - and if there is the info varies from a few days to a few weeks.
So my main question is how long should I expect the cycling to take.?
Photos attached.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
