Ahhh It´s All Done

[toshapetriji]

Well after 4 weeks my fishless cycle is all done. Thanks to MW and others who guided me through this. Keeping the temperature around 30 degrees has speeded things up towards the end. I will check readings for the for the next week then get my fishy friends. Can´t wait.

Yes it´s well worth the wait for sure. I´m happy to know I´ve got the right enviroment for my new friends.

Good job toshapetriji. Now while you are waiting to make sure your cycle is stable you could begin lowering that temperature to whatever the final temperature will be for your fish. It varies some with the fish but generally it will be somewhere betwenn 23 and 27 depending on which fish you get. Don't forget to keep your bacteria fed while you are waiting. It would be a shame to lose all that work now.

Thanks OldMan47 temp down to 26 now and making my final plans.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

MW I plan on the following

Cardinal Tetra 10
Peppered Cory 5
Pearl Gourami 2
Threadfin Rainbow 6
Later I plan a few shrimps.

Of course I would welcome suggestions on the choice and numbers If you see any glaring mistakes. Getting exited now.
