Hi guys,
Iāve just set up a 180 litre tank, and I used about 25 litres of well established tank water.
The tank took a while to heat up to 24 degrees Celsius (overnight).
Iāve added safe start bacteria, as well as tap safe and added some fish food for ammonia. I also placed 3 moss balls from
The old tank and 2 big media sponges.
How long do you think this tank will take to cycle? Will the existing bacteria have died in the colder water?
(Also, do you think I can use a single cherry shrimp as a canary to see if it lives?)
Thanks!
