Lily Rose's 64L Tank Cycle

[Jenste]

Not fishless any more! I saw your other post about adding 6 platies - they are pretty though and fingers crossed that they last through all the ammonia spikes and stress

My tank is partially cycled so I'm hoping with a small number of fish it'll be ok. I'll be water testing every 3 hours or so, to keep things in check

( how do i change the topic line to read fish in cycle now?)

That is much better Jayne. Are you intentionally running your tank that hot? I thought you had platies which are best kept much cooler, like 24 to 25C.
