| Well fishless cycle is definitely the way to go. Don't keep us on the edge like this...what are you planning for the tank!

| Bah. Fishless cycle. Comets and/or feeder guppies are the way for a speedy cycle.  |

| The kids picked out that standing dragon for one of the tanks here. You may want to check in store if you have one close. I don't remember if we got it on sale or something, but I remember it was only 15 or 18 bucks. |
