no need to ask similar/same questions more than once. you have a few answers in your other post. by the way, arent these questions you should have asked, say... before you set up your tank and put fish in there?

Wow, ok, take a chill pill.
I've put answers to this exact same question in your multiple other threads. You might want to read them.
Here's the link to the basics thread to the page that should interest you the most about a tank cycle.

Oh, and it's considered rude to use all caps on a forum.
Since it is a free forum, you have to be willing to accept some criticism for not doing due dilligance ahead of time. People don't have to help you if they don't want to, they do it because they're trying to help you follow the rules of the forum and the social norms of the site.

dont worry, i wont bother.
you opened multiple threads within a half an hour, basically stating the same things. you have to be patient. you will get answers, most of them from people who have done thier fair share of research. but part of this hobby requires adequate amounts of research before hand - just like any other hobby in the world. people on here are more than happy to help (myself included) BUT they are not here to do your work for you. its important to read and if you dont understand something, thousands of people are here to help.
at the top of this forum is an incredible post about some basics to the hobby. id suggest reading them. and taking your pills.

im not saying, blindly follow what people tell you, ive seen some horrible advice on here, not to mention lfs advice is usually pretty awfull. but read up, and if you still dont uderstand things, ask and you will usually see simialar/same answers. usually you'll want to stick with the suggestions that you see repeated, rather than the one lone person saying to do the complete opposite.
