Water changes are the key. Make sure to do water changes once a week. Remember to use water conditioner as an option of chemicals. YOU ARE READY TO BUY FISH. Adding plants will also lower nitrates. I hope I was able to help!

I am using API liquid test kit.

It has been a month and my tank won't cycle. I never received any cloudy water or any bacteria bloom. I have 4 double tail goldfish in a 36 gallon aquarium. One is not doing very well. I use water conditioner for water changes. I'll show you my test results Ammonia = 0.0ppm Nitrite = 0.0 ppm...

I have been cycling for a long time and I forgot to seed my aquarium!!! I do not have any established filters. Also all my friends don't keep fish. Will beneficial bacteria still grow? Or is it actually important to seed good bacteria when cycling. :banghead:

Ive seen many people use aquarium bacteria in bottles. If I dont use bacteria in bottles will my aquarium still cycle?

I need a few professionals here. I looked all over the internet. I could not find any helpful information about brown algae. Is brown algae good or bad? Can brown algae contribute to anything? Do I need to remove it? how? Can brown algae produce oxygen? :thanks:

I recently had brown algae in my aquarium. Are they bad/good? What kind of stuff do remove/eat? Do they contribute to anything? Should I get rid of them? and how. (Professionals please.) :thanks:

Oh no!!! Oh no I bought fish!!! What do I do now?!? I cant donate them to anybody. I cant throw them away! its inhumane I cant do anything but watch them die!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Did you do the fishless cycle?

Its been 3 weeks of cycling. I never had a bacteria bloom. I did everything. Added filter media, added source of ammonia, I also added a water pump. I use tap conditioner. I haven't received cloudy water. No bacteria bloom?!?! Also the ammonia levels don't go over 0.25ppm. Am I doing anything...

Cant do it!!!! I cant let water sit out for 2 hours. Becuase My wife wont allow me.

I cant let the water sit out for 2 hours I need time to do my work too.

New heater? Is it summertime? Both problems can be solved. -If your heater is suddenly hot get a new one. -Try putting a fan/air conditioner near your tank. I hope I was able to help

My question is how long does it take for the water dechlorinator/conditioner to work? Like how long does it take for water conditioner to remove chlorine. Do I have to wait before adding newly dechlorinated water? :thanks:

Just after a week and a couple of days of aquarium cycling strange there is slimy substance growing on the side of filter box and sides of aquarium. I can feel the slime but I cant see it. The slime has no color. IS THIS A BAD THING OR A GOOD THING?!!?!?!?!?!? :thanks:

My freind guessed lol also he learned about 60-90 percent of his aquarium bacteria will die off if the filters are dry.

Thanks Thanks a lot guys. I was beggining to worry. I'll send your replies to my friend. I hope they will help. :thanks:

My friend did a water change. He unplugged the filter until the water change was done. His fiter went dry and he learned that 70% of the good bacteria died. Luckily im still cycling my tank I havent unplugged the filter but how can I keep a filter wet and moist while doing a water change? :thanks:

lol good talk
