Every time I get a new test result...

... I get so excited. And then I remember I still gotta wait. If I could let the tank run it's cycle and not have to look at it and test it I would be good and I could maybe not think about it all the freaking time. I think I've become obsessed and no one understand why I love it so much. Lol

that's why people cycle tanks with fish in

now watch everyone spit the dummy and have a go at me for saying that

If you put 2 filters in the tank, you can use one of them to set up your next tank and it will already be cycled

I'm gonna run a sponge filter for that reason lol

start adding fish SLOWLY!!

2 fish per week max,

50% water change every 2-3 days till cycle is complete

Fish in cycling can be done it all depends on the stock plants and the fish keeper doing lots of water changes and testing. I would not recommend to a novice.

I'm too scared to fish in cycle. I have a toddler also so I'm avoiding multi weekly water changes unless I have to. Lol
