Hi all,
I recently setup an Aqueon 29 gallon tank using the starter kit. I'm interested in having live plants so I decided to use Seachem Fluorite substrate. I poured the substrate but my tank looks like it belongs to the swamp thing, all muddy, I cant even see the filter from the other side lol. The bag said rinsing not required but I probably should have... I think I may have screwed up because I added a few drops of ammonia to get my fishless cycle started, which I probably shouldn't have.. Is anyone familiar with this kind of substrate or done this kind of cycle before? I'm wondering if I need to do a water change to clear up the water or remove some of the ammonia.
