Thanks Coralbandit I will toss it back in. Earlier you mentioned fish in cycling methods do you have any you recommend? :fish2:

Well finally done!! :cool: Got the filter running with no cartridge to push around the dechlorinator any advice on if the cartridge is garbage would be much appreciated thanks for putting up with me!! :rofl: :thanks:

Was just thinking if I spent all this time scrubbing and rinsing still not done yet.... Is using the same filter cartridge even if I rinsed it going to still have traces of the CLR in the carbon assuming there was any to begin with? Do I need to get a new one? :fish2:

Decided to go with another safety rinse and scrub down with water to ease my anxiety!! Thanks for all the awesome post, this is really a great community!! :D P.S Thanks for that link Fish wrangler sucks to wait to plop some fish in but sounds worth it. Like I said I'm definitely a rookie so...

About the amount the cap could hold already had water and vinegar in the bottom of the tank should of used more vinegar and let it soak!! :facepalm:

Much appreciated unfortunately I don't have the no internet excuse for my stupidity lol I feel like a real dummy now... maybe I can try afew Zerba Danio see how they do worried I'll just kill them although their a cheap fish it's pretty unethical : /

Would really like an experienced person to give some much needed advice. I had a very old 35 gallon tank that I made the extremely rookie mistake of cleaning with a small amount of CLR and then hosed it out very well but also had used it on the canopy or lid of the tank and rinsed off under the...
