Hey!

[goldfishattack]

Hey every one!, I just got a 10 gallon tank, I plan on having just a plain blue background. Right now I have 10 gallon "piguin" above gravel filter, an ellite799 air pump with air stone, and a dimond heater. I Just put in a couple drops of "acurelf" make the water clear as hell, and i put in a couple drops of no stress. I was wondering how long will i have to wait for the tank to cycle and what tropical freshwater fish would love an empty 10 gallon tank?

Im fairly sure those products do not cause cycling to start , if there is no ammonia then the bacteria in the bottles (assuming there are some, I have no idea) they have fed on nothing and will have died off.

Im personally at the mo feeding my empty tank ie putting in a normal amount of fish food in there and that breaks down to the ammonia to build up the bacteria.
Or you can just add ammonia (alien annas signiture I think will tell more, like how much to add)
or the unrecommended way
add a fish to cause waste (least effective and cruel to the fish approach because only a small amount of bacteria built up to manage that fish.....therefore you have to add very slowly one fish at a time for a few months to allow the bacteria to multiply eachtime and catch up.)

Please do not mix and match btw NEVER add ammonia to a tank with fish to speed up cycling
