Fish Keeping 101 Part 3 "Cycling An Aquarium" |

Great information for all levels of fish keepers! |
|
Course the best 'line' in the video, in referring to Dustin, |
|
"the guys' a maniac" (glad you two are friends) |
|
Regarding test kits, I use the old tried and true 'drops in a |
|
tube' (API Master Test Kit). Take a bit longer, but much better |
|
accuracy then the 'dip strips' that the big Box stores use to |
|
test your water. |
|
The one thing to understand is if your levels are too high, |
|
you'll get a reading that appears to be in the safe range, or |
|
zero. This is because your test kit is designed to test a |
|
narrow range. |
|
Check out this video from Dr. Tim's aquatics for a great |
|
demonstration: |

Dude has a lab coat and a beard, he must be good. Although no |
|
safety glasses so possibly a bit of a maverick. |
