Awesome! I was worried they would melt. Well i have 14 pieces so if a few do i'll still be ok ;) Thanks!

I'm switching to sand on Friday so if i put it in the gravel until then would it be okay?

I have 14 different pieces of crypt lutea and i'd love for them to grow on my driftwood.. can't find anything anywhere about them on driftwood.. i'd like to hear your thoughts..:blink:

weird... tested again no ammonia and 0.1mg/l nitrite

Anyone willing to put their 2 cents in...

Ok, i need to add more info. On the 15th after i added the filter media my nitrite readings were sky high and hardly any ammonia. Then nitrites were 0 (didn't have master kit at the time, didn't know nitrates) then everything was 0 except for ammonia because i had used flakes in a mesh bag...

Ammonia is 0.4 and nitrites are 0.2 and nitrates are around 6 or 7 --- KIDDING! Tested nitrates yesterday and it was that, just tested now and it's a HUGE 70ppm! What the hell?!! .. (Take note, i have 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate in my tap water) So, would a pleco be able to live in these...

I was doing a fishless cycle, but i have the chance to pick up a bristlenose today so i was just wondering if it would be okay to do that, if i did water changes every other day. I have an anubias with algae on it and a big rock with a lot of algae as well plus algae wafers i've never used...

I wouldn't be able to get a bristle nose pleco now, would i? Or are they too sensitive to the nitrites converting to nitrates?

I already have a master kit and it did go through that.

My 30G tank has been up for 2 1/2 weeks. Used a big sponge from my 20G to seed it along with a brand new bottle of Nutrafin Cycle (ordered it from my store). I also have an anubias. Things are now going smoothly. 2 days ago the ammonia was really high then it dropped a lot, nitrite is now...

Thanks for the answers, guys. This is where i found the store, right off the ACE hardware Canada site. Oh and yes, i just saw the alert on the news...

Is ACE Hardware called MACINTYRE ACE HARDWARE LTD? If so, i went on google maps and found one 41 mins away from me. :dance: I can't go throughout the week but i can on the weekend and until then i'll use fish food. I am SOOOO excited! :rofl:

I put in a sponge of filter media from my 20G and that tank has been running for 4 years.. put it in on the 15th.... Ill put some fish food in a piece of nylon drop it into the tank....

I'd never do that. I would do a silent cycle but i can't go paying $8 a plant and get a ton. Ill find a way, i guess
