          Hello, again, Im working on my 75gl tank set up this week and I was wondering how long will it take to cycle it and move fish in it? What  precautions should I take before moving my fish? I am planning on some wood and stones decorations, but, not sure what is safe or not either....Thanks!

I would leave out the wood so

I would leave out the wood so it doesn't change your ph and dye your water. Buy 10-15 rosey red minnows and cycle the tank with them in it. After 3-4 weeks it should be safe for your fish, just get rid of the rosey reds. If you have water testing supplies, you can test your water to see when it is done cycling.
