Fishless Cycling in a 40 gallon.

I would be doing a water change, lowering water level for more agitation and getting some good liquid test kit readings...

Mine arent good enough? I have the FreshWater Master Test Kit by Aquairum Pharmaceuticals, INC.

Anyway I bought a Rena 400 air pumper, and sadly they don't have good instructions and I haven't done a thing yet.

Installed it...Sadly, it's still somewhat loud, not super loud, just that vibration sound. ANy ways to reduce it??

Yeah, bought a Tetra 100 air pump and it's pretty loud. I keep wanting to just take it off, but I never do it. I don't see how they can claim that it's quiet. :wall:

Probably because they want to make money. All of our fish need that oxygen just like us :headshake2: And my Rena air 400 is kinda big, that could be the reason why...it's for 120 gallons, but hey, the bigger the better is what fishers say,right?
