Mrs Fish, how did you end up? I was looking up some info on cleaning carbon and ran across this thread. We should be now 2 years into your tank maturation?
For the record, My tank was prestine for 3 weeks, I added a single clown fish in the 2nd week, boy.. oh boy.. am i happy thats all i did. That kick started my cycle into overdrive with the feeding involved. And we're talking LR and LS from an established system. Had i known I'd cycle I would have never put the little guy through it. Nemo survived and thriving
