No Fish - Cloudy Water

[SubChick]

Meiko,

I just emptied it and refilled it since I hadn't moved my fish over. I just put the filter from the old tank into the new tank to give it some bacteria growth. If I do that do I still need to add Stress Zyme? I was under the impression it was one or the other, what do you think?

Thanks,
Michelle

ano ano.. Well I'm new to all this fish stuff too. It says on the Stress Zyme bottle that it's just "Live bacteria to enhance biological filtration and keep your aquarium clean" right? although how "live bacteria" can have an expiration date of february 2008 is beyond me. @.@; I guess, as long as your doing a fishless cycle it's not like it'll hurt any, but probably not needed.

If I could start over the whole setting up a fish tank proccess I'd just go with the pure ammonia and do a fishless cycle with no added chemicals. May take a while but it sounds like the cleanest method to guarantee a happy fish tank. o.o;
