    I'm setting up a 20g however when i got the filter from the person it didn't have the bio filter, could i just go to the school and pick up a simple sponge? Maybe something like this also I've heard the fastest way to cycle a new tank is by adding already established media, how do I go about that?

    Hello all. So got my tank set up finally. Cycling with some zebra danios right now that my LFS were happy to provide. Added in a special leaf that is supposed to help lower PH that the fish store had in stock. Looks pretty cool. Here's some pictures of the set up: [p][p][p][p][p]

    Okay, I've tried to do this twice. I just got a seven-ten gal tank about a week and a half ago. I live an hour away from any pet store and so, when my husband was in said town I asked him to pick me up some pure ammonia to cycle my tank. The petco guy swore to him that I didnt need ammonia, but...

    I came home today and the rest of my fish were dead I want to know for sure that it was the effects of the cycle that killed my 4 zebra danios, or if it was disease, or dodgy pet shop fish, or my filter, or my short attempt at fish food fishless cycling that killed them. Should I start over...

    Hello, I am working on my friend's 13.09 gallon planted tank that have fish already on it. Anyway, it already have fish in it and in my opinion it's overstocked and asking for my help. We got a predicament here because it's only 2 months old. The only reliable test kit that we have is pH test...

    This is a thought i had. I have a 29 and a 50 g tank. The 29 got drained because i was moving it. Now here is the question. I filled the tank with water and put the filter on the 50 g tank so it could get going with bacteria and such. If i put the filter on the 29 after that for a few days do...
