My sorority/cycling log with pics

[gopal87]

Hey awesome log. Keep up the updates.
I too started cycling a day after you had started, but I unfortunately had to replace my fluorite substrate :( now I guess I'm back to square one. Hopefully there were some bacteria buddies in the 3 gallon water I choose to retain.
And a happy new year...

i dont see any heater....
and didnt you said your going to put in white sand???

btw what kind of filter do you have???

i have quite flow 10 and i found out that the filter's downside is super slow to culture good bacteria in it. check your filter if theres any place for good bacteria to live in. if theres not, customize your filter and add in sponge next to your bio cartridge (preffereably white sponge/cotton) and when the sponge turned brown that means good bacteria is growing there.

Entry 6: Recently I decided to go for a community instead of a sorority.

Then I went to Petco and saw beautiful and young female Bettas... So I want a sorority again.

I haven't updated because there's no nitrites yet. Ammonia is in the 5-6 range, and I decided tt stick with my gravel since I wont be doing a community with cories. I'm updating because I just went to petco and got an ornament that takes up a lot of space in the tank, but at least it offers some good hiding places and looks natural (Note: It will be my only ornament but I will get plants)

I can't take a pic because the camera's dead )=
