As long as you don't plan on keeping delicate wild caught fish, your ph should be fine. Most fish can adapt to a higher ph, and trying to mess with the ph usually causes more harm and hassle than good.

Thanks! So tetras will be okay too?

I have Angles Rainbows and SD In one tank and Severums and Heckeliis in the 75 Both at 8.2PH no problems. Just acclimate well

Okay cool I will whenever this tank decides to cycle

Is the bottled bacteria worth it? Is it worth the money?

 

[jwh0818]

Well I bought seachem stability. 100mL bottle for 9 $ but for new tanks it takes 100mL for 45gallons. I did 80mL for 36g and then im suppose to do a capful for 7 days

Hha you got impatient. .

I hope that stuff helps cycle it faster!

Yeah no kidding. I need another bottle. If you did it you would need around 5 bottles

Dang! Really? At $9 a bottle. That adds up quick. Lol.
What does it do exactly? Just cycles it faster?

Its apparently bacteria in a bottle but who knows. Suppose to cycle your tank in a week butn who knows?

Might need to dose ammonia higher to 2 PPM. Instead of 1 PPM.

I did. I actually put it to 3ppm

I think I wanna do an angelfish with a pair of female rams and some other fish? Would that work?

 

[jwh0818]

I wanna move my tank to a safer spot. I think im over paranoid. When someone walks near it, it shakes. Im scared its gonna fall. Am I crazy?

 

[jwh0818]

LOOK! LOOK! LOOK! I have nitrites! LOOK!

 

[mikem691]

LOOK! LOOK! LOOK! I have nitrites! LOOK!

[Alyxx]

YAY! Just a little longer and the tank will be cycled!

 

[Tx Oscar Lover]

LOOK! LOOK! LOOK! I have nitrites! LOOK!

I'm jealous -.- that's lucky!

 

[jwh0818]

I feel lucky!

So that means you are halfway? . I can't wait to see some nitrites. Im doing a water change today. I've been up all night going pretty hard. Lol.

Dont do a water change on your big tank. Its a fishless cycle and doesn't need one. Id worry about your 46g for now. Definitely do a water change on that if nitrates arw high. Im guess you can say halfway. It could sit on nitrites for awhile before seeing nitrates
