e30 gangsta said:I filled it last night with water, then did a huge pwc because i added too much ammonia around noon today, but that water has been in there for less than 12 hours. And the only media ive had is, my old filter.
e30 gangsta said:Nope it was dried out. Everything was dried out. I did it showed 0 and 0. beginners luck i guess?
Remember I did a huge water change, but I brought the water down to just above sand level, So the sand still could of had good BB from the night before.
e30 gangsta said:well we have the chains. petsmart is the best out of the chains I think. I've been reading about a place called fish connection in aventura. they are more of a fish hobbyist store and they carry all kinds of cool stuff. why do you ask?
e30 gangsta said:That is true most do specialize in SW. Where is APE located? Have you ever ben to that store house of fins?
Also early morning cycle update.
ph 7.6
am 2.0 pmm ( dropped overnight )
nitrite .50ppm ( also dropped )
nitrate is yellow orangey in the test tube. Not quite 5.0 ppm but definatly not 0 ppm so I guess 3.0 - 4.0 ppm.
How can you tell that the tank will be cycled soon? The drop in ammonia?
Also what is considered high for nirite and nitrate's? I'm just wondering so that when they shoot up, I know when to do a pwc.
Hmmm all fish emporium. Ill have to check them out. Sand is looking great, nice white and settled.
What kit do you use to clean your sand? Anything you suggest?
As always thanks Jeff.
hmmm $20 for there active 4 inch filter. What exactly is it, and what does it do? It has to be hooked up to a air pump?
Is it like a airstone? Would I have to disconnect my air stone and install that?
Im confused. thanks.
