Hi. Hope you can help. I've been searching for an answer but can't find anything that fits do sorry for the new post.
I bought my daughter a small tank (8 gallons) and set it up 2 weeks ago. I went to 4 different aquariums and all gave different advice on how to start the tank.
A few days ago we bought 3 harlequins and, as advised, some aqua care bio boost. I was told to leave the tank for 3 weeks and then do a water change.
This doesn't sit right at all with me. I had no idea about fishless cycling until we had already bought the fish otherwise I would have done that!
I know I am in a less than idea situation but any advice on how to proceed from here would be great. I have testing kits and am prepared to do whatever I need to do to make sure the fish are ok! Thanks
