So are we saying that because we dont live in Terra Nova that we should all stop reproducing because there are nasties in the air??


Following on from this, the next thing you will come out with is that you use tap water in your tank without dechlorinating it first, exposing your fish to toxic chlorine (burning their gills away)... A bit like me dumping you on Venus without breathing apparatus and watching you suffocate due to sulphuric acid levels in the atmosphere.
 
Fairplay its not the right expression. But it angers me slightly that there are billy big timers on here poking a finger at which way a person cycles a tank. The furthest back ive seen an article for "fishless cycling" is 2008, so im pretty sure that many a fish lover has subjected there fish to stresses of a new tank, or am i off base there??

Who? I've seen people suggest newbies go through a fishless cycle. I've seen people say that fishless cycling is better than fish in cycling for a variety of reasons, but I've not come across anyone bullying folks who did a fish-in cycle.
 
Have a look at Nobody of the goats comment for starters

"So because it is unnatural for fish to be housed in tanks, that makes it fine to add them to a tank where the filter has no bacteria colonies to deal with the extremely toxic waste that fish naturally produce, rather than responsibly preparing the tank and filter by "fishless cycling" in advance of the first fish additions?"

This suggests that im an irresponsible individual who has no concern for my fishs' welfare

This suggests that not only have i no clue of what im doing, but its ok to mock my intelligence, and that ive gone into a pet store, asked for a tank, chucked some water and fish in it and hoped for the best.

So these types of think they no it all individuals are out there, pointing the finger.
 
i dont think anyone is mocking anyone...
this forum is very passionate about caring for their live animals...
I've lost 4 fish now...and it breaks my heart.
We just want to spread the word of fishLESS cycling as it seems not many know about it.
both fishless and fish in cycles are fine to do...as long as you have the knowledge of exactly how to do it. Things should go fine.
 
I'm still struggling to understand what the real issue is here. Has someone here upset you Garry? If so the correct procedure would be to go to one of the moderators and report the issue. Coming here picking a fight isn't the right way to get your point across.
 
i dont have to justify myself, but tested again today (like i do everyday)my tank is ten days into its cycle and it read ammonia 0, Nitrites 0 Nitrates 10. Used api master kit. Doing alright am i?? Stressing my fish unnecesarilly am i?? Wind your neck in.
 
I know I havn't said anything to to you as this is the first topic of yours that I have commented on. I'm not asking you to justify yourself I'm asking you to calm down and follow the correct procedures if you have a problem.

I havn't been rude to you and I'll thank you not to be rude to me
 
well done Garry..looks like it's going fine.
 
Ok Garry, tell us then. How are you cycling your filter? What method are you using?
 
sorry akasha 72 that wasnt aimed at you, this has got a little out of hand me thinks!! i wont carry it on. thanks everyone, and apologies for anyone i may have rubbed up the wrong way.
