We are doing the big pwc as I type. and I didn't know that I had to put in the dechlorinator like that. I was doing it by the gallons I took out. I'm used to the 10 gallon tank yet I guess. Thanks soooo much for the info and patience

I checked the PH and it was at 7.6. The high range PH is at 8.0. Now for the dechlorinating the water. I have a hose I connect to the facet and fill the tank like that and add the stuff to the tank as the water is going in. That's not how it should be done? I am planning on a large water...

I've been doing a fishless cycles for about 3 weeks now. My ammonia is not dropping. I put in the filter media from the other tank,and some of the fake plants. I also have an air bubbler stone in it. Also some fish food, which I think I over did on, cause the water turned green. I don't have...

Yup, I bet I added to much food....who am I fooling, I added to much food. Will that go away on it's own (the green water)? I hate to add all the chemical stuff to take care of it if it fixes itself. I'll just tell anybody who asks that it's part of the cycling/learning process. I hope I...

I'm still waiting for the ammonia levels to go down, it's been a week and still at 4ppm. But the water turned green:confused:. Is this normal while it's doing the cycle? I followed how to start the thing going, filter media from other tank,decorations and I added food, bubble thing is going...

Ammonia Just something I want to pass on about the ammonia I bought.(ROOTO 10% Ultra). I just called the company that makes it and the lady who I talked to assured me it was just ammonia and water. Nothing else!!!!:thumb:

ammonia I went and got some different ammonia. It 's made by Rooto and it's clear.It's 10% . No phosphates, and it doesn't mention a thing about soaps or perfumes. That ammonia calculator is AWESOME!!!!!:D Ya I have the API Master Test Kit too. I'm really trying not to get anxious about...

I read (and printed) The (almost) Complete Guide and FAQ to Fishless Cycling. It is sure very helpful. But of course I have questions. The ammonia I have is the cloudy kind and on the label the active ingredients: ammonium hydroxide (cas 1336-21-6), and it contains NO phosphorus. Is that the...

Zelda here in need of advice/ answers. I'm going from a 10 gallon tank to a 42 gallon. This is a big adventure and really want to do it the right way. I have never had a tank bigger than 12gal. I have had tanks in the past, so I'm not a complete rookie. It's going to be a freshwater tank. I...

Hi Everybody, I never know what to write so here it goes. :oops: I am in the process of setting up a 42gallon tank. Never had one that big. The biggest I've had was a 12. So I know I will have lots of questions. I got the whole set up from a friend and unfortunately no manual came with it...
