Making a return to fishkeeping.
#1
Hi All,
After a 10 year hiatus I am starting to keep tropical fish again.
On my first attempt I cycled the tank using pure ammonia and an API Freshwater Test Kit. This took approximately a month to complete.
The new products etc that exist now are making me consider a new method which is as follows, please critique with some constructive advice and I look forward to being part of the community once more
Day 1
Set up tank (Fluval 125ltr Roma)
Fill with dechlorinated water and aquascape.
Allow to run and filter out dust etc from initial set up changing the white filter pads every day or two.
Day 7
Check water parameters using API Freshwater Test Kit (Could someone please remind me of the acceptable parameters please?)
Add Colony tank cycle solution along with some fish.
Thereafter 25% water changes weekly and filter changes bi-monthly
This is based on advice from the LFS and also some reputable YouTuber's.
Again I am new to this again so if I am making any glaring errors then I appreciate the feedback.
Thanks
