I am new to keeping fish and already I have made sooo many mistakes it is a wonder any of my fish are still alive. With the info in this site I have finaly cycled my tank. My fish have lived through extreame high nitrites and amonnia so high my test kit could not register it. They have survived fin rot and gil fluke. I lost a couple along the way but now that I am cycled I belive all that is behind us.
So again thanks to all the people who have been there and done that and don't mind sharing so others don't have to go through the sadness of losing new found friends.
