Cycle Question

Go to your LFS (Local Fish Store) and have them give/sell you a couple
cups of the sand and grunge
out of the bottom of one of their tanks. Or if you have any friends with
established tanks, snag a couple
cups from one of them. There is some question to those "live sealed &
bagged sands". I don't doubt they work,
but for no more trouble of getting a couple cups from a tank you know is
established. I'd do that also.

Don't do any more water changes. The best thing you could do though is
get a cup or two of sand from another established tank. That will let
you move a good head start of bacteria into your tank and cut the cycle
time way down.



Thanks for all your advice. The sand in my tank is Carib sea
Agra-Alive---It`s supposed to have bacteria. Should I still get some stuff
from another tank?
