hello everyone,
I’ve owned freshwater, mainly ranchus and orandas, and decided to start a cheap 10 gallon tank. I know a lot of people here are super knowledgeable and take it very serious and I hope I don’t offend anyone in this hobby with my set up. I just did not want to spend so much money initially if it wasn’t for me. I did do some research about basic set ups and decided to go and give it a shot.
Right now I have a top fin pro hang on filter, aqua top heater, live rock and sand and a wave maker that I think is too strong. I know there’s more gadgets but I wanted to start the cycle for now.
My first question is, how do I know if the cycle is going good? What are things I should buy? What should I look out for and when do I know I’m done cycling the tank. Any information in general helps!
