| Thats how it works. I could go throw fish in there now and cut their lifespan into half at least. Plus they wouldn't be suited to the conditions thus stressing them. Making them liable to death Anyone who puts fish in a tank that isn't cycled properly is a dickhead. |

I actually enjoy your little cycling effort.
