Hello everyone, I'm looking to get back into an old hobby that I had when I was younger. I haven't had a fish tank set up since 98. Didn't have much information when I was younger about cycling my tanks either so now I'm taking the long route and doing research before I jump into it again.

-I've spent the past 6 months reading up on saltwater tanks, so I spend the next few trying to remember anything I can about freshwater set ups.

As far as tanks I'm going to buy my step son a 10G tank for christmas, and I have (2) 29G tanks as well. (One long, the other tall).

When I was a kid I didn't know anything about cycling the tanks, I may get flamed for this but I was 7 years old I didn't know any better.
I would basically add the drops that the pet store recommeded to me, waited a few days (4) and then I'd bag acclimate my fish.
Not sure how it was they survived me a few years but they did....

Anywho I'm hoping to learn more about tanks, and species as well....

Appreciate it man, I'll get pics of the tanks up asap. We just moved into our town home so things are still boxed up.

My mistake on the 29G. It's a 24G Tall:

Dimensions are as followed.
2ft Length
1ft Width
19.5 Inches Tall.

I've had this tank for a good 9 years. Everything from Loaches, Gouramis, Tiger Barbs, Angel Fish.. etc.
