Thanks Stress Zyme came up in one of the reviews for Cycle. Seems someone actually did a lab test of the two and found bacteria in the Stress Zyme, but not Cycle. There are good reviews of both, though. I'll probably go with whichever the first pet store I stop at has

I use the Stress Zyme every week in the minnow tank. I had read the same thing about Cycle, that the quality wasn't there.

Keeping a proper tank is certainly a bit of an art form. But also know you can drive yourself crazy with it. :-) I think the biggest mistake people make is keeping the tank TOO clean; for example, don't over-siphon the gravel, as you'll pull out the good bacteria, and when you change your filter cartridge, stuff some of the old "gunk" into the new one to kick start the new colonies of bacteria.

Thanks Lori... I'm really trying not to drive myself crazy with this I did end up with Cycle so hopefully it'll help.

The Met Office have forecast up to 8 inches (20 cm) of snow where I live, overnight. That's enough to cause plenty of disruption.... I might not even be able to get to work.

Awe now what a shame that would be

[adamanteus]

Yeah. I'm gutted!
Might even get a chance to take a couple of shots worthy of the Nature Photography Thread.

You better. You don't take enough photos.

You don't take enough photos.

Now, where have I heard that before?

You're gonna keep hearing it until you do something about it.
