In any case, I set my tank up fishless on roughly 10 March, and added
some fish two weeks later (3 neon tetras died fairly quickly, while all
the others are going strong). And finally today, YAY!, I see 0.25 ppm
of Nitrite, and ammonia about 1.5 ppm. So I will watch the ammonia and
perhaps *not* change the water, then check chemistry tommorrow to see
how high the readings are surging. In sum, my tank is *still not* fully
cycled after more than 6 weeks--but it is starting!!


Congratulations! It's sort of like becoming a father, eh?
