Boredom Is A Killer.

[Joshwainwright]

Hey all,

Gosh, I am so bored right now! What do you guys do while you cycle your tanks, all I can seem to do is be impatient, and it has only been a day! I don't even have mature media.

Plenty of time to think about potential stock!

oh dear i fortuneatley have never had this problem as i've had a minimum of 2 tanks i can steal media from

 

[Joshwainwright]

I decided to start completely from scratch

BIG mistake!

 

[lilfishie]

No one on here local to give your cycle a kick start?

 

[Joshwainwright]

I haven't asked but I doubt it. I've looked on the list wherever it is and there isn't.

1. I usually leave home while my tank is cycling. Go on holiday or work some extra hours. Keeps your mind off things
2.Just a tip -this topic shouldn't be in the 'General chat' area, its for anything NON-FISH related, I think

Boredom isn't fish related

Study the requirements of your future stock then correlate there requirements against the other species in your list if they all match up okay and you can supply there requirements sit back and feel happy with yourself

Of course there are endless bits of information in this forum a lot can be found in the resource centre reading and understanding that lot will serve you very well

Good luck Onebto

Boredom isn't fish related

But cycling and mature media is!

The original post was intended for the purpose to ask what other people do while they're bored, waiting for their tanks to cycle.

As I said it is, it is my opinion, you will struggle to find anything related to tropical fish/aquarium on the 'General Chat'. I'm not saying that it is in the wrong boards, I just feel its better in the 'Tropical Discussion'
Don't want to ruin your thread with too many replies (as it has happened in one of my previousjournals ) so thats me done

Anyway back on topic, there is a product called 'Interpet Ammonia Remover'. This coupled with very mature media should speed up cycling a lot incase you get the occasional ammonia spike. Good luck with your cycle

 

[Joshwainwright]

I don't have and can't get hold of mature media

Never mind. Anyway getting hold of the Ammonia Remover product will speed up your cycle massively,keep up with the water changes
