I cannot beleive you didn't let it cycle matey. I know it's tough going waiting to set up a new tank but the amonia, nitrate and nitrite levels must be high. Be careful bro i don't want to see you loose these beautiful specimens.

no cycling needed if you switch the old tank filter on the new one for a while, running the new filter at the same time, and transfering old water from the old tank in the new one... looking at his fish, I think he knows what hes doing...i dont worry.. pisca is the man! what will you put in your old tank now pisca?

Cycling? What's that?350l of water from old tank plus filters that have already been running for over 3 months.

nice fish also how do you go about cleaning the sand?
Piscatorial Pastime » posted 2007/03/10 - 01:38  
The same as any other substrate but just lightly run the syphon over the top.Very easy.
Mark Szczypek » posted 2007/03/10 - 01:44  
ahh yeh i was just wondering sweet cos im changing to sand soon so yeh should be great what size tank were your eartheaters in before?
Alex Odesit » posted 2007/03/10 - 02:38
Beautiful. I know what you mean Keith, if I only had a chance, I would get much bigger tank then 210g.
They all look bigger when empty and no 8-10" fish in it.
