Fish Keeping 101 Part 3 "Cycling An Aquarium"

Great information for all levels of fish keepers!
Course the best 'line' in the video, in referring to Dustin,
"the guys' a maniac" (glad you two are friends)
Regarding test kits, I use the old tried and true 'drops in a
tube' (API Master Test Kit). Take a bit longer, but much better
accuracy then the 'dip strips' that the big Box stores use to
test your water.
The one thing to understand is if your levels are too high,
you'll get a reading that appears to be in the safe range, or
zero. This is because your test kit is designed to test a
narrow range.
Check out this video from Dr. Tim's aquatics for a great
demonstration:

Dude has a lab coat and a beard, he must be good. Although no
safety glasses so possibly a bit of a maverick.
