If you plan on putting Cichlids in, I would strongly suggest getting a test
kit and testing.

Check you're Ammonia and Nitrite levels as well as pH levels.

Do yourself and wallet a favour before spending money on fish.

I have a 55 gallon tank that I just started again - filled it with holy
rock
and water, running an Emperor 400 with a powerhead sponge filter running
to
promote water movement. I tossed in 5 black mollys and 5 marble mollys to
start the tank and after a couple died, the water went from cloudy to
crystal clear - it's been two weeks - I don't have a water test kit -
should
I expect that the tank is cycled yet?
