Been thinking...

(yes it hurt)

I think I'm going to take a step back and let patience take hold.
Just been worried about the fish (15 cardinal tetras, 10 rummynose, 8 ottos) and shrimp (10 amano) sitting in a bucket for a few weeks.

Shouldn't be a problem with the old filter and heating in the bucket.
Then I can get this dry start under way properly.

As you said Tom, good things come to those who wait.

Much appreciated.
