I'm just having a bored day lol seeing as though there's nothing to do in my tanks I've just moved my plants around and escaped my marine tank lol

I do understand but I've never used it and had no problems

I'm just trying to find my way around this site as I've only just signed up to it and not sure

I'm a if it doesn't have to go in the tank then it doesn't kind of person lol

I just do my best to keep things pure that's all

Endlers are also light orientated so light from another direction such as sun through the window shining through the tank walls can cause them to swim at nearly 90 degrees from vertical, I'm not saying it is this its just a thought

He mentioned nitrite

Just the ones to kick start the cycling process

Everyone has their preffered way don't they I suppose There is one cycle just different stages of it

I find that using fish to cycle works better cause I don't like to put trust in those chemicals and I would only ever put chemicals in my tank for my plants and method blue if I have an outbreak of disease Meth blue

I personally went down the fish cycle after my first few tanks I set up and found it to work better I don't like using chemicals uncles I really have to such as my frets and meth blue

Bio start or something like that it was called

I did a load of research when I first started out as my LFS advised me to use this chemical and I wasnt 100% sure I wanted to start putting things I didn't know about in the tank and I read on 1 site that it took someone almost 8 months to finish the cycle using this chemical he had the same...

I've found that using chemicles can actually make the cycling process take much longer for a fish less cycle I just dropped some flake food in the tank once a week only a little bit as the bacteria in the filter need a source of food just like anything else you want living in the tank
