You have just stepped into my office, I'm an avid aquarist too and I'm pretty big on the subject.

You've stated that you just bought an aquarium. Please do not tell me you already bought fish because if you did, then you just wasted money and ultimately, killed some fish. When you buy a new aquarium, you should not buy fish for another one or two weeks.

This is because you must set up your aquarium first, with all the decorations you intend to have in it. Of course, you must wash the gravel in warm water, along with any other decorations you'll put in it. You fill it with water and add some proper dechlorination chemicals. You let it run with the filter on for one or two weeks, as I stated earlier. This is known as the cycling period.

Alright, I got myself going. I suggest you look through the internet for articles on aquarium care and maintenance. Or if you prefer, just PM me, I have waay to much to say.

I didn't buy any fish. I thought it was 24 hours for the filtration period? I neutralized everything, I think I'm going to go buy some PH papers to see what I can do.

Is a salt-water setup difficult to do?
