Hi
I haven't posted for a long time. During divorce and house sale I had no fish. I've note purchased a second hand small tank, it arrives tomorrow. It's been in use until they empty it to bring it here, they're bringing the filter with the media immersed in used tank water, but can't transport more water. How can I cycle the tank best without losing the "good stuff"in the filter?
I've bought today gravel (they had pink in - not to my taste), plants, stones, bogwood, flake food, tap safe and the bacteria stuff.
I'm planning on either a shoal of endlers or small tetras - the endlers in the shop today were beautiful colours.
I'm happy to do daily water changes etc.
At the moment I've washed the gravel thoroughly and the stones, the bogwood is soaking in tap safed water with the plants.
Thanks for your advice.
