Tip of the Day

“When is my tank ready for fish?”
      So when can I have fish?  Your tank will tell you!  The only real way to know your aquarium is ready for its first new inhabitants is testing.  Every tank will progress through its bacterial cycle at its own pace.  Test your aquarium every two days for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.  Each one will spike, then slowly return to normal; once you’ve reached zero on each test, its time for your new pet.  Regular water testing will ensure you always know your new pets are healthy and safe!
