Subject: There are better ways to start a new tank (msg)
In reply to: Enigma 's message, "Air, and Aging the Water" on 17:52:56 04/12/01 Thu

Here is an article on fishless tank cycling. It discusses how to age the tank so that benificial bacteria are present before any fish are introduced into the tank, making throw away fish like feeder goldies unnecessary. Starting a tank with feeder fish is likely to infest the tank with parasites and disease.
