Easy Going Goldfish
I can’t believe it… My tank is cycled. Only took 3 years, but by Golly Gee it is cycled. The magical cure came from a very special source. She told me to replace one of my cartridges in my Emperor 400 Filter with a cartridge from a tank which was already cycled. So I put in this other cartridge, smaller than the one in my Emperor and let is sit deep in the water within the filter. Guess what happened? Just like that, my tank cycled. Wow… Unbelievable… All the money, time, chemicals, back breaking water changes were not in vain, for it taught me the only way I can learn which is by hard knocks.
YAY!!!!!

Haha, you could also try taking a small filter bag of gravel from an established tank and placing it in the filter system of the new tank.

I’ve never thought of doing such a thing as you just mentioned. I will certainly do this when I set up another tank. Janet I read your gravatar write-up and really enjoyed your explanation of yourself. Your Guppy Guide blog blew me away so I’ve included your link on my site. I’m not that poplar of a blog so don’t think it will be much help as far as getting traffic your way, but will make easy access for me to go to it whenever I like. I glanced through a few of your posts and will be going back soon. Great looking blog.
