   When was this video …
   When was this video made… I can not believe people are still using fish to cycle an aquarium. Fishless cycling is done with a raw shrimp. Put the raw shrimp in a plastic zipf lock baggie and poke holes in the baggie. The shrimp will decay and thus create ammonia. It is easy to remove because its in the baggie and also you wont be removing a dead fish. API test kits are not the greatest either.

   These guys suck, …
   These guys suck, When I setup my tanks I use live rock and live Arogonite, And Biozyme, I put my fish in as soon as the tank is filled and never lost a fish doing so, Only time I lose fish if I up and put one in with another and they fight, You can also buy a 5 gallon jug of ocean water which will also help. No one I know has let their tank run for weeks before adding fish everyone add’s em right away. If you know what yer doing

   i assume salt water …
   i assume salt water?

   well the mini sharks, dont stay min for long, the smallest still reuire 200+ allon tanks.

   trust me, do not trust the expert village people, it is best to join a forum, like reef central (one of the best, imo).

   sharks should have very sound rock work, so they dont nock it down, and hurt themselves, and your other inhabitants, they should be kept with fish larger than their mouth. they need good water quality.

   do not feed freshwater fish.

   please pm me w/ q’s
