Good day, all!
I’m Lady Fire, and I’m trying to following the rules and introduce myself here..
I wanted to extend a huge thanks for all of the wonderful information you share so freely here in the aquarium of MyFishTank.net. I can’t begin to tell you how much this resource is appreciated by the great unspoken masses that read these forums. (I know from personal experience, as I’ve been poking around silently for about a week!)
My 55 gal has been set up for two months, and has only had fish for the last four weeks. I set it up, treated it with water conditioners, and let it run for a month before I ever put any fish into it (as I was told it would “set itself up”). Obviously I hadn’t yet read Iggy’s Tank Cycle Recipe, which would have prepared me properly for my undertaking. *GOLDFISH*
Needless to say, it accomplished nothing, and since I’ve added “cycle fish” (seven feeder-type goldfish and three Red Comets), they’re excrement-ing themselves into ammonia oblivion. I’ve just ordered some of the Bio-Spira to arrive tomorrow (as highly recommended by everyone here), so hopefully the problem will be on it's way to resolution by week’s end.
I had a 100 gallon tank for years as a teenager, and I don’t remember ever doing anything more to it than an occasional vacuuming!!! Wow… How did we ever keep fish before all the pharmaceuticals?!?!?!
In any case, I just wanted to say hello, and thank you. I’ve learned allot in just poking around here… Thanks to everyone for being so awesome.
