mitch Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Is there any truth to the story that a new tank should be left to stand for 20 days before putting fish in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Nope. But you will need to cycle it first. All the info is in a sticky in the beginners section. You may have heard talk of new tank syndrome, which is just the shock for the fish going in to a brand new tank, aslong as the water parameters (pH, DH, KH, temp, no ammonia or nitrite, chlorine) are right the fish will be fine.
