Tank Is Setup!

[WayneVT08]

I got all the water in today, I have to get some more money so I can go buy some ammonia I literally have 1 dollar left over. I bought a master test kit and 4 plastic plants and the water isn't that cloudy. So thats a good sign.

So all I need really is the ammonia for the fishless cycle, and some water dechlorinator. Am I right in what I'm saying?

Make sure you get ammonia as described in the fishless cycling topic: http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=113861
You might also need to make sure your tap water doesn't contain chloramine, or just be on the safe side and make sure the decholinator gets rid of it too.

I know, just get the regular ammonia, read ingredients, if it says anything other than water and ammonia, it's no good.

But do I have to get the dechlorinator? Or just make sure my water doesnt hace chlorine in it?

You really do need a dechlorinator as chlorine kills bacteria (that's its job) Most dechlorinators get rid of chloramine too, you just need to put a drop extra in.

Follow that link Gremily gave you to the letter.

Good luck

I've read before that chlorine can evaporate if given 24 hours but I really think you should get the dechlorinator, it's fairly cheap. I got enough to treat 3500 litres for around a tenner and it's probably cheaper online.

I was looking at petsmart.com and it was like 8 bucks for a bottle, granted i don't know how big the bottle is, but once I get some cash, which I think will happen tomorrow, I'll buy some dechlorinator and then i'll buy some ammonia and the fun can begin
