I set up my tank, I used Bio-Balls instead of sand. I am running a 55 gallon. My Hydrometer gave me a good reading, I heated the tank to 78, I ran all my tests on the test kit witht he water, everything was within levels before starting. I setup the tank on the 14, and let it run until the 17 without fish. On the 18th, I added two blue damsels, the damsels were find until yesterday, when both died, What should I do now, I had no idea that I could cycle without fish, but now that I am start...what should I do. I can give you water level readings within an hour, if that will help. I was trying to do this the right way, and I guess I screwed up, it's getting pretty discouraging.

thanks,

Steve
