More tank help?

[Alasse]

I personaly do not cycle my tanks...i pull them down and do a full clean then fill em up and put any original fish back in.....have done for years

My filter requires charcoal...and does not require the charcoal changed every 7 days *L*...i know when it needs changing by the colour of the water...if it gets a yellowish tinge (tannins) last time that took 4-5 months

I dont do water changes often either....probably once a month

Probably not recommended but it works for me and my fish....my tanks are crystal clear and the fish healthy...

The only time it might be a problem to not cycle before adding fish is if your tank was overstocked in the first place

Im going to pick up an amoina testing kit in the next few days whenever i can get out to get one.

The water has been clearning up a bit. which is a good sign.

Im not sure what a charcole filter is, But in my filter I have this back songie type thing and the filter cartdages... Im new at this fish tank stuff so bare with me please.
