1. 10 gallon tank, took nitrites over a week to rise from 0 to .25 ppm. Sounds like it's about cycled, huh? :)

2. How many ppm of ammonia and nitrites are lethal to fish? (Forgot, sorry.)

3. I purchased the "Deep Blue Sea" Background from BigAls. I had it before for my 55 gal and it looked great. I put it on, rubbed the bubbles out. A week later, and now it just looks black. I noticed it starting to get "speckly" black, now it just looks black. I took it off, and it was dry. I noticed that it looks the best when it's wet, and put on. How exactly are you supposed to put them on so they look good? If I just press it against the glass with my hand, it looks like, well, a piece of glass with black paper on the back of it. I can "see" the glass. However, I spilled water down the back of the tank unknowingly, and pressed the background on, and it looked great! (This was when I first put it on.) Is there some way to adhese it to the back so it looks "wet and shiny"?

Thanks you guys. Glad the old place is still around.

try a little cooking oil or anything else that won't run off or evaporate vary fast.... just think about what it is befor you decide to put it that close to your fish
