 | running an empty tank |
Theresa_M        Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004    | I have an empty (fishless) tank that is planted with some small swords. It will probably be another 2-3 weeks before there are fish in the tank. Will the plants be ok this way or should I borrow a fish or two from another tank? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

You might also get away with just a pinch of flake food or the like (as if you were doing fishless cycle). If you have KNO3 mixed up that would be the easiest IMO. ^_^ [hr width='40%'] It only hurts when I breathe"  |
