Default New tank

. I just set up my tank, hooray. I have two gold fish that I have
introduced to the tank so as to cycle the tank faster. This was a
recommendation from the pet store. I have a test kit, I have to keep them
alive while the tank cycles. So far the water is clear, and Shakespeare and
Cleo seem very happy, and are very fond of each other.
I think I may become a regular poster here if all works out. I have gotten
some great advice here. I think I will take some pictures if I can manage.

tanks can be cycled faster with much less stress to the fish using Bio Spira
otherwise, people have used fish food to cycle the tank. be sure to keep ammonia and
nitrite levels as low as possible with water changes. Ingrid
