Same page different book? Lol
Clynnking said:Sorry to cause such an uproar. LOL. I just added ammonia this morning after a big PWC and will see what my numbers look like. If no ammonia, I will know my bb got fed and do what you said. PWC, move everything from 20 gal. that is moveable including fish. (I don't like the gravel in there-its green-not from algae). The 20 would then be empty except for gravel. I suppose I should fill it again to keep the bacteria in the gravel alive? I could also add a new clean filter to the water to have some of that bacteria growing on it? Will the 20 be ok without filter on?
Clynnking said:Why do I not need to have my QT tank cycled? Any new fish I get for the 38 gal will need to be QT for a while and an uncycled tank would be dangerous for the new arrivals right?![]()
Meave said:Thanks for all the help, it's funny because you always get conflicting advice from different places. One board said to stop doing the partial water changes, it's disrupting the cycles.
I am going to stop adding ammonia for a couple of days and see if the Nitrites go down some.
Thanks again!
