Cheers all,
I had 2-10 gallon tanks given to me about a year ago....well I decided to give it a go on one of them and went out and bought a under-gravel filter , Only installed one riser with a powerhead pump .
Also bought a hang on the back filter , and a heater and set the tank up .
I was told by my brother who has had a tank ever since i can remember that i need to wait 2 weeks before putting any fish in...is this true??
Also the first day and a half it was crystal clear now Day 3 it has a light milky haze..... I did alittle research on the web and found a write up that said this was common and to preform a 10-15% water change... thus I did...
But in reading that I also seen where someone had said that you could put fish of a hearty type (no more than 2 for 10 gallon) as soon as 2 days as it will help the cycle get established Is this true?
Can I in fact go out and purchase a couple fish and put in the tank...It sure would be nice to see something in it...
I am truly a newbie when it comes to this and would like some input other than my brothers
Thanks in advance for any input....
Carl
