Hi All,

Just wanted to say thanks for the great first shipment of my 65 gallon package. I recieved all 5 boxes in great shape from the airport saturday night and spent that night and early into Sunday setting up the tank!!!

Well worth an almost all-nighter!!!

Its been 2 days now and I am starting to see my ammonia levels rise a bit between .25 and .5, should I do a water change now or wait a little longer for the ammonia to get higher?

Ill post some pics soon!!!!!

Thanks agian for the great shippment!!

Thanks Mike!
Wait until the ammonia gets close to 1ppm, then change some water, changing too much water too soon, increases the cycle time..
Thanks
