Steve,

Thanks for taking the time to do some research for me. As mentioned to
Mary, I'm doing my best to keep the levels as low as possible without
drastic 100% water changes.

Despite the early losses, I do plan to keep up the hobby - it's very
relaxing to sit and watch the fishies. :-) I plan to do some
experimenting with the hospital tank in an effort to master the
"fishless cycle" so that if / when I upgrade to a larger tank I can do
it right (and so that the hospital tank is ready to go, if needed).

Thanks,

Liz


For any new aquariums, you can transfer filter media, plants, gravel etc
from your established aquarium to the new tank. In this way, you'll
establish the new aquarium without a serious cycle.
