Cycling stocking is generally 1/4 to 1/3 regular stocking. ^_^  Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link]  |

Tammy Ultimate Fish Guru Tag what? Posts: 3265 Kudos: 811 Votes: 46 Registered: 08-Aug-2000  | Depending on the size of the Giant Danio's seven may not be enough. Full grown, I would say that is borderline. A 125 gallon tank is alot of water to cycle! It could take an eternity with only 7 fish. I would do as Babel suggested and try to use _anything_ you can from an already established tank. Is it possible to set up the filter system you are going to be using on the new tank on an existing tank to start the process? Do you use biowheels at all and can you swap them between an established tank and the new tank when the time comes? |
