YAHOO!! My fish tank is finally cycled. I have my scheduled below and if anyone needs help, I have a bit of experince now thanks to lumpydog and everyone else who helped me with the fishless cycle. It took me almost 4 weeks and I think it was due to my mis-measuring of the ammonia:x.


I now have 2 mollies and 2 tetras in my tank and going to purchase some more this week. Did a 25% water change and changed my carbon.
