Andysol said:OK- I think that might decide it for me- I think I'll add 20+ fish- which will be Juvies- on Monday (because its at my office and I'll watch it that week) and take out the 8 Adult Fatheads. They are messy dudes anyway, nibble my plants, and jack my substrate up.
No doubt- I'll keep y'all updated good or bad.
20?! I think you might be pushing it a bit there. What fish are you adding? What happens if the ammonia spikes over the weekend?
LyndaB - a silent cycle is a cycle in a heavily plant tank. The plants consume the ammonia. You can slowly stock the tank more and more as the plants grow and take up more nutrients.
