Came into work early, and set up my tank and am going to do the "fishless cycling" before adding the fish.
The tank looks great just running with the light on! I am tempted to put in one of those glass fish that float by a glass bubble in just until it's ready. I can't turn the heater on until I buy a multiple plug adapter this afternoon.
Also talked to the owner at the LFS a few minutes ago and he said to just bring in a sample of the water and he'll do all the testing and tell me what I need to do to make any adjustments. I thought that was pretty nice of him considering he could've sold me a bunch of stuff instead.
He suggested putting in 3 Neon Tetras and 2 White Clouds with my Betta. I remember seeing another subject on here about this, so hopefully I can find it again. Does anybody think there would be trouble with this combo of fish? I wasn't going to put anything in there but the Betta originally...
THANKS again for everybody's help and patience with me! Once I get this really rolling, I'll take a picture to post.
Also -- I'm pretty impressed with this Eclipse tank. When it arrived, the plastic was VERY scratched in the back and enough in the front that I was going to send it back. But hubby had some 'plastic stuff' and he actually got the scratches out - looked like new again. It's also really quiet
