Yeah I was in a rush to post and just linked to the first google link that came up. I have the black plant substrate and it works great, I have already had my amazon sword sprout an arm across the tank and plant a new sword, also flowered. I made the mistake of getting a water sprite and then...

I told the guy at the pet store for sand and he asked what my setup was going to be and recommended a new gravel/sand that they just got in. I am using it and I love it so far. It is called Eco-complete, it has fine sand as well as medium and gravel chunks. It works awesome for my plants, the...

Just keep adding until your nitrites drop to zero and the 3ppm ammonia you are adding goes away in 12 or less hours. Then you will see your Nitrates spike, and then you are ready to do a big water change to lower the nitrates down to safe levels, I am 38 days into a fishless cycle and its almost...

Ok, so I wont worry about them then. Yes I have a lot of plants and I just added a couple plant supplement tablets in my substrate. Also, my snails have been eating and pooping all over the tank so I guess thats creating food as well. Thanks for the peace of mind!

Oh! One more thing that I recently learned that really speeds up the process of cycling if you do not have access to any filter media or gravel from an already cycled fish tank. As soon as you notice nitrite levels starting to appear, I found that going to your local pet store and finding a...

Thats what I was saying. I personally enjoy some type of algae eater in a community tank vs snails. Just to give you an idea of how annoying snails are, I just set up a 20g tank for a zebra puffer (they eat snails) and I bought 10 snails half way through the fishless cycle, in 2 weeks they have...

Guppies and Tetras are fine together. Do some research on what kind of filter and heater you should get. Keep in mind your experience and cost of maintenance. Please read this before you get an algae eater...
