Is is safe for fish? Also, does it matter the amount/size? I was thinking of using 2x12x6, 2x6x6 and 2x8x8 pieces to lift a Tetrafauna Viquarium and Reptofilter that way it would look more proportional in a 55 gallon tank (free stuff is the best stuff :dance: ). I would prefer not to place...

**Sorry anyone for the double post*** Good to know, Thanks! That 125 is tapping me on the shoulder now...:brows:

It is and as always they deny everything. The guy that came out to test it today looked at me funny when he turned on the faucet. I decided to say: "That chlorine smell is awfully strong isn't it? Wanna drink?" I guess he wasn't thirsty, and that's why he turned the offer down...

Awesome! Thank you so much!

That's great to hear! I guess not to worry way to much about it then. Would thawed out frozen raw shrimp work as well?

Will the ammonia I am detecting be of any use for doing a cycle? I can only find ammonia with surfactant in it and nothing without it in my area. Is this kind ok? I am not in a complete rush to do this since the larger tank will have to take a uhaul of water to fill it up with (exaggeration). I...

City water. I just got done having it tested by a tech and he said it was within permissible range. Which honestly means nothing for fish. Would it be safe to add a minnow or two to get the ball rolling or do you think the fish and the start of a cycle wouldn't do well?

It's now 1 ppm. It was over 8 ppm two weeks ago before treating. Why on earth would it keep coming back on an empty tank?

Yep. Been treating it for two weeks too. No luck and don't know what else I can do at this point... No sense in doing a water change since it is going to provide me the same headache. I'm just happy I didn't start with my 125 that is waiting.

Two weeks ago I decided to start up a quarantine tank for a future fish purchase. It is a brand new 10 gallon tank with a brand new filter and heater. I used bottled water (to flush out carbon, residues, etc.) that was free and clear for every test with naturally the exception of PH. Even though...
