Helloo everyone...

60 litre jewel aquarium.. very nice build to it i must say

also got some silver sand in there for me plants and couple of new rocks that I've just added

Been cycling the tank now for about a week, letting all the bacteria build up in the tank.
Will be adding fish in about a weeks time once the plants have got used to the tank !

It's very nice really! What method are you using? How do you know that the cycle will be finished in about 1 week?

Well im fairly new to this aquarium bussiness m8, was really keen on the idea of having real life plants in my tank instead of the artificial one's......
If i have to let the cycle of my tank continue then ill do what needs be, I aint in no rush, wanna do it properly , what i;ve done so far i ok tho ?
Id really appreciate some advice on this matter, ive got some added nutrients for my plants as well

thanks alaska for ur comments...... also ive noticed some of the leaves going very dark...and they leaves look like they've been munched but there are no fish in the tank

Looking good Dan

You should be ok to add some hardy fish to help finish the cycle next weekend provided your plant situation clears up ok...

But no rush, take your time dude

Maybe look at Kribs.. theyre cichlids, and the only thing that they do to my plants is eat the hygrophilia plants, but they rest they leave alone.

Great looking tank you got there Gizmo! What kinda lighting do you have on it?
If it is a standard bulb onbly, you may want to look into adding more lights, with the co2 that you have, and a nice bright light your plants will take over in a hurry.

Here is a current pic of my tank, and that was taken 4 days ago, and the plants have grown drasticly from then since I introduced co2 into the equation.
