Hello all. I am new to this tropical fish world. Having read around the subject a bit I started by cycling my tank using the add and wait method described on this site. It was hard not to buy lots of shiny, little fish from the shop but I want to do this right.
I now have no ammonia for the first time (Hurray) but nitrates still off the scale. I am going out of town for 10 days in a week or two and I am not sure how to leave the tank to keep the colonies of bacteria that I will have painstakingly built up. Any ideas or will I have to start from scratch when I return.
Thanks for the help.
