Meanie!
WOW SUPERJOHNNY!
Pretty mean aren't you? There is no reason to be mean here:
3) I started to sweat after reading about half your post. It's so poorly written it's difficult to read. Don't write the words as they come out of your brain... we don't understand your brain.
Paragraphs are your friend!

Good advice from some, Seriously, this isn't a writing forum, so despite the fact that things could have been written differnetly, the point was made, and we all knew what your questions were. Don't worry too much about the paragraphs. Although room temp will dictate much, and sometimes can't be helped if you run your temp that high, you will have some O2 issues to be aware of. Higher temp water doesn't carry o2 well, so make sure you have a lot of surface disruption to keep the water well oxygenated. Ammonia, nitrite, and ich or other stress will greatly intensify the o2 problem also. Flashing can be the result of many different things. the already mentioned ammonia discomfort, and the already mentioned ich. Gill flashing is common with ich when there is no outbreak visible. it is one of the early signs that is often missed. in your case I'd definately keep my focus on ammonia and nitrite reduction, but when everything else clears, I'd still keep ICH in mind and monitor things very closely. Nitrates cannot be removed via magic drops (unfortunately) there are a lot of quick fix drops and powders out there that just aren't worth anything IMO. Water changes are your best friend, and as said with the cyle probability you will want to do a lot of them every day. get a bunch of dechlorinator and roll up your sleeves. It will be work, but will help your fish, and give you some good experience in the process. Keep asking questions, never panic. Garaunteed, someone here has lived through just about eveything you will go through as you learn. Hans is the only one who has switched to cats only in his tanks and despite the fact that he has a lot of good knowledge to share he seems to prefer the one liner approach most days.
