did you cycle the tank?
You know what no one ever told me that! What's the easiest way for me to cycle it?
I will bring up the fact that you used this product in a heavily planted, lightly stocked 75 gal aquarium everyyyy singleeee timeeeee you advise op's to use this product before recommending the 2 standard cycling procedures acknowledged by this forumn, which both have many many success stories without the use of bottled stuff aside from pure ammonia..I don't know about your but since when is 20$ alot of money? you got yourself into the aquarium hobby any by the looks of it spend a fair bit on your setup. If you don't want to shell out 20$ for the safety of your fish be my guess. Just understand when you go through a normal cycle your only putting your fish through more stress then needed.
Before this turns into fanboy vs neigh sayer showdown how did you acquire the tank? Surely that oscar has been around a while??
yes... With a heavily planted lightly stocked 75 gallon tank!!! I cycled a tank in 2 days with freeeee seeded media, but I digress.. Let's let op get back to us before we go any further.. Deal?Just as you guys recommend your method I will recommend my method. Nothing wrong with that is there? Even more so because no one else here seems to have experience with it, all the more reason why I should speak for it. 10 day cycle, no dead fish, seems good to me.

did you happen to stuff any of the old filter media(pads) into new filter? Do you have any other tanks running? Do you have a test kit/are you testing water??I am using all the old gravel and a 4 old decos.... But I got a new filter that's heavy duty! I also have a placco with a leopard type pattern in there and a South American Ciclid.. I am expecting a child soon so I'd like to save money if I could.. I can spend like $40 right now because I spent $245 on his new tank and deco.
