Ammonia Source
I'm starting my [acronym:5b12ca9970="quarantine or quart depending on context"]QT[/acronym:5b12ca9970] tomorrow (15gal) using 2 seeded filter pads.
I plan to run it for a day and then get my fish the day after. I'm just checking that my [acronym:5b12ca9970="quarantine or quart depending on context"]QT[/acronym:5b12ca9970] will be ok without an ammonia source for a day before I put the fish in? Or, if I should put a little bit of fish food in or something when I start it up? Or will it be ok with nothing for a day? |

The bacteria will be unaffected in such a short time. Just be sure you monitor the [acronym:75b3422021="Ammonia"]NH3[/acronym:75b3422021] once the fish is added.
