The Tropical Tank

the_funny_carpet · Posted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 4:12 am Post subject: Tank Set-up guide

so, I wrote this guide on setting up a tropical tank...

http://therealowner.com/fish-aquariums/how-to-set-up-a-tropical-fish-tank/

and I was wondering if me (being a little dozy) had missed anything important - theres also a link to TTT's cycling page on there, is that alright?

anyways, just to check I wasn't misleading the One person who has read it...

I was wondering where you'd been Smile

It's really good, but a little bit of constructive (I hope) criticism: If that's where you're finishing, personally I'd like to see at least a bit more about stocking gradually for fish-in cycle. I see you have said to research fish & ensure they won't grow to 3 ft, but I think the common mistake is that people wait 7 days then go out and get a tank load of fish. You can't be sure they'll actually come to the TTT cycling pages.
