Before you all start mocking me, it was only a question as I have seen lots as LFS...I was trying to find "natural" colour ones and about 2 bags were natural stones and 12 were coloured!!!!! And I DO prefer natural colour stones, just wondered about the weird coloured ones as they looked scary...

Am going to be starting a fishless cycle soon, but if I start the cycle with tap water will this be okay or should I use dechlorinated water? If decholorinated how do I do it, what's the best products to buy and bear in mind I live in the UK. In case you need to know it's a 17.6g tank :)

What is your opinion on coloured gravel? My first reaction is that they've been treated to be a certain colour and might be bad for the tank...but wanted a more expert opinion or tried and tested? :blink: Thankies :D

Thanks all :D Btw I have problems changing my sig, and all other aspects of my profile, it says I have no access to that bit... :sad:

Am looking at getting a new fish tank in a few days. I used to keep fish when I was younger (12-13 ish), but eventually turned to "Mum can you clean it out this week?!" :blush: so Dad sold the tank. Now that I'm older (21) and more responsible, I'm looking to start again. I remember a lot of...
