Finally got my tank today.... it was a long wait
96 x 24 x 20 ( width )
Tank was originally ordered for Ranchu. Thanks to fugupuff wesley converted me into cichlaholic, especially those pictures of Kelberi........

so.... may need some help here..

I am going to let the water sit for 24hrs. then turn on pump and let it run another 24hrs , get temp to 88 F.

Wash some old bio filter material into new tank, hopefully get a jump start of good nitrifying bacteria in new filter.

Introduce my blood parrot first, wait maybe another 24hrs before my pbass.

Am I missing anything here????...

Current stock:
1 mono
2 ornio
2 tem
6 kel
6 blood parrot

Thanks

you may want to cycle your tank the proper way unless your going to be using a cycled filter off of another tank. i never heard that you squeeze media out into the tank
