Who really ****ing cares in these looser groups that are not
patronized by folks that have half a sense of decency when it comes to
advising folks on fish and aquarium care...These jerks in these usenet
groups are loosers from the world of kooks, and info is extremely
sketchy at most. Go to a web based forum and get decent corret
answers.

So when it was set up for two weeks did it had something in it to
generate Ammonia like a snail or fish?

Someone suggested the gravel was unclean. I can't see how he can have
nitrites with nothing alive in the tank...?!?!?!? The store clerk should
have pointed this out and made some suggestions as to finding the cause of
the nitrites before adding fish.

Does anyone really wait a month before setting up a tank with fish any
more?

if you really want to wait a month.

I add them as soon as a tank is set up and everything is running right.
There's no reason not to as long as a dechlorinator was used. Some utility
water contains a lot of gasses I read somewhere and should be allowed 24
hours to stabilize but that has not been a problem were we live.
