Everyone keeps talking to me about cycling and I have read past post and look all over websites and books but I still do not get it. I thought cycling was to let your water go through the filter for a few days and I did that then added my fancy guppies. I am totally new at this, I put the fish in the tank over 2 weeks ago and figured everything was find this past week I did lose a female and a fry and started to think I must be doing something wrong.
I did about a 60 to 70% change.
I have figured that I feed to much because when I tried to clean the gravel stuff went everywere.
I do not know what to do or how to start.
What does cycling mean and how do you know when it has started and when it is done.
Thanks and sorry about the totally newbie question I know you all get tried of getting the cycling questions again and again but I could not make head or tails out of the old post.
