im gonna order the test kit from bigal's but i noticed they den't test for chlorine? i've heard many mentions on this site that mention dechlorinators, but do you need another type of test to make sure its working? is it possible to put too much in?
and on the same topic sorta.. my tank from walmart came with a trial size of a water conditioner called AquaSafe made by Tetra, anyone know if this is any good?
also, i was trying to read more into the cycleing process, cuz well, i think i understand what happens during the nitrate cycle, i have to say i find the adding ammonia method a bit intimadating.. i've heard mentions in other posts about using shrimp or fish food, does this work as well? or any differently for that matter? i cant seem to find any solid information on either method.
also, im still very undecided on fish. the closest store that sells any kind of fish is a walmart, with some basics. has anyone had any experance buying fish from walmart?
the next closest store would be in another town, maybe 30min to an hour away im not sure. but theres a store there that deals mainly in fish. how long do you think fish can go between store and your tank?
more questions to come im sure.. but i'll go read some more posts
Edit - Oh and we now have ALOT of bubbles in our tank.. we went to walmart cuz i wanted A bubble stone.. and of course my boyfriend came too, so now we have 3 bubble stones in my 29 gallon tank, the back wall.. well its actually like 2 inches maybe from the back wall, is covered in bubbles, it is indeed amazing to sit and watch, especially concidering we havent gotten any fish yet. but will this be a problem when we do get fish? will it be too much for them?
Sorry for such a long post!
