I secured the ammonia yesterday.
Good!
I will be transporting my fish and snails to my mom's aquarium tomorrow. You mentioned to use a bucket. Once I get to her aquarium, do I just plop my fish in? How can I match the temperature? Should I put the fish in a bag and float it?
That would be a good idea. Just use a clean, ziplock. Rinse it in some tank water first.
Would it be worth putting a product like Stability in my mom's tank after switching her filter and taking some gravel?
No. Not needed. Like I said, she should do an extra partial water change per week. She needs to do at least two per week, removing at least 30% each time.
I also ordered the Aqua Clear 30 filter from Amazon.
AWESOME!
It should be here Thursday. Anything else I need to get the tank going?
You're good.
I read heat increases bacteria growth. Is it worth getting another heater to add to the tank?
If your current heater can get you up to around 78 or 80F, you don't need an extra.
Thanks again for the help!
You're very welcome!
