Maybe throw a shrimp from the grocery store in there before you leave? You would certainly have a hell of a bacteria culture by the time you get back. I like the substrate especially compared to its predecessor
Throw in a large amount of fish flakes and leave it. It will probably generate quite a bit of ammonia, but it won't be the most fun method to clean up after. I can't wait until my fishless cycle is over. :headshake2:
yayyy!!! i ordered a package of aquarium plants from Mgamer last night and they should be here like wednesday. i cant wait to get them and put them in my tank!
ok so i got all my plants from Mgamer yesterday, and they are all great except that i dont know what any of them are. will have to start an id thread. but anyways i got them all and will try to post pics in a few. they are all in the wrong spots cause i didnt know where to place them, i just wanted to get them all in the tank before they died. i will definately re aquascape when i get back from my cruise.
