learn something new everyday

Since I am starting a new tank, (40 gallon reef) I decided to reread the basics on cycling. I had heard of fishless cycling, but I had no idea how to do it! Well, I do now, and I love the idea. NO fish to stress, (or stress over) and more fish can be added after the cycle is complete, woohoo Everyone should read the pinned topic in the beginners section about cycling (it has the link to the fishless cycling info I read) Why kill a fish Why worry about them getting sick House hold amonia is cheaper, easier, less cruel, and quicker I know most of you know this already, but some of ya don't

I agree I'm in the middle of my cycle right now. Ammonia is comming under control nitrites are off the scale. I'm guess 2 more weeks for me.

Good for you. I find that cycling with fish is ok in big tanks with only 3 or so fish, but it's safer without them.
