When you say 26, I imagine you mean C and not F? Because 26F would give you a block of ice and a shattered tank...

Also, punctuation is appreciated. It makes your problems easier to read and understand.

You did a good thing by giving away your fish; while fish-in cycles are doable, it's better to do without. At this point you should go to Miss Fishy's site to check out her page on fishless cycling (MissFishy's Guide to Fish). She goes through everything you'll need.

I second that. Read Miss Fishy's tips and follow them explicitly. Then you'll be on the right track.
