Questions about Cycling Tanks

Thats really confusing. :/
lol.
I'm just curious, why is it bad to do 100% water changes?

It's not bad to do a 100% water change in an uncycled tank, but in a 10+ gallon tank it is a lot of work, as you cannot just pick up the tank and dump it.. (a filled 10 gallon weighs about 100 lbs)

yeah, I was thinking perhaps I'd take some of the water out first with a bucket...I'm still really confused about cycling.
I might try it once I get a filter though.

Cycling might be confusing but you've got a lot of support on this forum. There are a lot of people who will walk you through every step of the way.

Once I get a filter I definatly will try it. :)
That should be in less then a month. :)
