Need help/advice

fastest way to cycle it is to seed it with mulm (The gunge that you vacuum
out of the gravel) and filter media from an established tank - of course if
this other tank has any unwanted organisms in it you seed the new tank with
them as well......

I didnt take down the 30 gal that they are in, i took down the hospital
tank
and washed that one out.
As for the permanganate i'm going to take a trip into the city. Right now
i
live about an hour from the closest town (small city if that is what you
want to call it) and the 2 pet stores there do not carry it nor did any of
the pool stores that i could find. I'm sure i can find something in the
city. I will make some phone calls before i start my search. I did look
around on line and there was some interesting stuff on the web about it.
Even found some that have instructions for treatment for tank/fish.
I'll also do some searching for AmQuel. I dont want to leave the poor
little guys in the hospital tank (thats if they pull through) for very
long
but i will have to wait for the 30 gal to cycle. You wouldnt happen to
know
of a fast way to get a tank to cycle?

And if i havent said it yet....THANKS A TON
