shiok.gif After absorbing all the advice from fellow forum-ers, I managed to cycle my tub liao ( no dead fishes for abt a week liao, I use guppies to cycle my tank coz they are more hardy tongue.gif )

Time to buy new GFs liao so happy smile.gif.

I understand for newbie, shouldn't get too x one cos it still will die easily if not taken care off properly, so wat will be the price range / size of GFs that I should be looking at ?

I live in the NE, any good place to get some healthy GFs ?

Few Q again :
1. The GH & KH of my water is dropping, what should I do ? I read something on coral chips, any idea where to get that ?

2. I also read something on buffering water ( using baking soda ) any idea on that as well ?

3. I also read something on Activated Carbon to remove the smell from the water, is it true ? coz my wife complaining the water smell ( fishy smell ) although I dont think so

Thanks in advance tongue.gif

IMHO I dont think Lazerguy is fierce, I have seen him personally & also have taken a lift from him before and also he responds to PM very promptly. smile.gif

My personal experience with uncycled tank water was terrible, many of the goldies fell ill within few days.
