Hi Martin!



One big thing to remember with fishless cycling, patience is a virtue!
My fishless cycle took about 60 days, many of those where it looked like nothing was happening.
But it was worth it in the end, no sign of ammonia or nitrite when my new fish went in. (did suffer some losses, but that was down to inappropriate use of meds , learnt my lesson now)

All the best for your tank, sounds like you're already making the most of the time to do your research!

Hiya Guys,

Nice to meet you too!

I must admit I have definitely caught the bug, I end up spending most of my day now looking at fish stuff now!

Cheers
