Mission Control...Day Three.
The tank is up and running, with my AC500, and although the cloudiness issue was never completely fixed, the Cycle begins.

I have jettisoned 18 tetras on a journey that many will never return from.
Such is the life of a Dither Fish!

Anyway...two have checked out, and the rest seem to have acclimated fine...no chemical residue problems as yet!
Should I be doing water changes during the cycle process?

Also...I bought an AquaClear Wet/Dry filter on eBay...I have never used one of these and any input from the forum is appreciated.
I need to be an expert by it's arrival!!
My sinister plan is to operate this W/D from a satelite location.

AquaClear Wet/Dry? Never seen one before, do you have the link to the auction?

Also, I would do w/c on the tank as it Cycles, just take samples and test the water, you will see when it is time. Also, should loss any fish when cycling the tank.. I have cycled tanks BB with Discus in them.. When one does large and many w/c IMO there is less need to cycle
