If it's not already, turn it up to 30C, the "munchers" like it warm to multiply. Remember to turn it down to the fish preference when it's finished cycling though.
Tank looks good.

Re: Hi! New and confused
What temperature are you running the tank at while you're cycling?

Re: Hi! New and confused
Are you testing for nitrite as well? 3-4 days is normal for things to begin to work.
I think there's a very slightly different shade between the two, so you may have about 0.25 nitrite as well?

Re: Hydrophobic coating
Well, you could go down to 24C, but I wouldn't go any lower than that with orange mollies.

Re: Hydrophobic coating
What fish do you have and what temp is the tank at? If the tank is running a lot warmer than the room temp then the condensation will be worse.
On the tank I run at 22C I hardly get any condensation, but the warmer ones I get more.

Re: Can you cycle a small tank (fish-in) in a week?
Welcome to the forum. :) If you already have fish then use something like Tetra Safestart or Seachem Stability alongside the water changes to help build the "munchers" in the filter to cycle. If you don't have fish, the fishless is always the better way to go. Certainly what the shop told ...

Re: Hi All
Greetings :] & welcome to AF-UK my question is how do i distribute the 100's of fish that are in fairness costing a fortune to run. Are you asking between these three aquariums you have, if what sizes are they? They just breed so fast i don't have the heart to flush them down the loo :suprised:...

Re: Galaxy Rasboras
I don't use anything but sand in my tanks for the well-keeping of bottom feeders, so I will always say sand. ;) By the way, putting it on top of gravel can cause anaerobic/anionic bubbles underneath which can hold nasty gasses like hydrogen sulph(f?)ide. I'm not sure you can do anything else for the...
