Aquarium Cycle <><><>?? <><><>( Question)?
I'm thinking of getting Fish 6 Neon Tetras, 3 male guppies, 1 female betta, and 3 ghost shrimp. This is the setup I have. 1 10 gallon tank lighting setup / w Hood filter air hose / bubbles submersible heater w 2 Live Decorations future plants, background, gravel, artificial plants. This material does a package! And in my fish forums insisting that all this is necessary. Now that I have everything I have to say This grand cycle. And for that I'll need a "liquid only" kit test ($ 20 – $ 35 – $ 40) and a bottle of ammonia. I reached 100% of my money limit of a submersible heater does, and I do not even have the fish yet! Will the water does not age well if the water treatment and a little aquarium salt. My friend told me that if so I would configure it with live plants and everything and left running for about a week before getting fish. Will it work?
No, it will be fine. It is necessary for a dry cycle before adding fish tank if you want a healthy future. Let the water sit in the tank will do absolutely nothing. As soon as you add in the fish they will start producing ammonia, and without beneficial bacteria to eat up that will only continue to rise until reaching highly toxic levels. If you can not afford and ammonia test kit at this time, then just wait until you can. Just do not buy the fish yet. Keeping fish is patience. If you try to rush things will only be achieved with a lot of frustration and headache of sick / dead fish. This is a thread on how to cycle your tank dry …. http://www.fishforums.net/content/New-to-the-hobby/113861/Fishless-Cycling/ Oh and I did not add salt in the tank. . none of the fish really need in the tank and I'm not sure how the ghost shrimp react to it.
