Re: Tank-cycle, Tank-cycle, I want my tank to tank-cycle (I hear Queen!)...

I agreee that he has made a huge error in setting up his tank and that
he shouldn't get any more fish for the time being.  I don't agree on
the (lack) of advice he's getting.  He's here because he's realized
that he made a mistake.

The reason this forum is here is for people like him who jumped into a
tank with both feet and are now sinking fast.  Rather than tell him
how he made a huge mistake, shouldn't we be giving advice on how to
correct the problem?


As for my advice, I could give it but seeing as I'm a novice (only
about 8 months experience on 4 tanks), I will let the veterans help
him out.
