OK gang, so I'm getting ready to cycle my tank, after my disastrous bout with two goldfish last weekend (which you can read here)
I'm following these instructions minus the bubble wand or a heater because I just don't have any more power outlets behind the tank. So I went out and got an API Master Test Kit, Aqueon Water Conditioner, and a gallon bottle of Ammonia (it's all the drug store had).
2 questions:
1) My tank is full and has been since last week, so do I need to add the conditioner to the water that's already in there?
2) Because I couldn't find a smaller bottle of ammonia, I'm not really sure how to measure it out. What exactly is 4pp? or 1pp?
