Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi guys, I'm in Phx at my daughters place. She got her 10 gal tank in March. It is beautiful! The water is clear, fish seem healthy.
Here's the problem, she has a API test kit, she just in the last week started using Prime. But she has never found anything in her water except for the ammonia.
Tank specs:
10 gal
Bio-wheel HOB filter
Air pump, nut only 1 small air stone. But the filter seems to creat bubbles pretty well.
Stock
1 Dalmatian Mollie
3 White Cloud Mt Minnows
Last test
Ph 8
Ammo 1-2 ppm
0 nitrite
0 nitrate
Did a 60%+ wc
Plus added 5 ml prime
Local fish store gave her part of a filter sponge that she stuck in the filter, but that was 3 wks ago. No changes. Still no cycle. The water looks crystal clear, but has never cycled. Prior to getting the Prime, she was using Tetra Aqua Safe Plus, as directed.
I made coffee here this morning and was really surprised with the chorine smell in the tap water. She lives in an apt community on city water. Could the chlorine be so high that it is killing the BB before it gets started, even after the Tetra Safe?
We had to come here quickly due to a family emergency, so I forgot to bring some seeded material.
Ideas?
