Alright, ph is still holding and ammo and nitrites were 0 again!! If tomorrow at this time I get 0 readings, I'm going to add the fish from my 10 gallon.
Would a pwc be necessary tomorrow if my nitrates are only a little below 5? The plants have really brought them down.

I wouldn't think so but see what others say as well.

I just dosed the Flourish for the first time and I noticed some bubbles on the top of the water, I'm not sure if they were there before I dosed or not though. But they are on the side of the tank with the least surface agitation. Has this happened to you at all? I'm going to see what happens when I do a smaller water change to add fish tonight.
edit: I added more cuttlebone in this morning, maybe that did it. I hope theres no soaps in it at all.

i get bubles sticking to the edges of the tank at times as well. Its probably nothing to worry about but just keep an eye on it. If the tank starts to look like a bubble bath then i'd say you might have a little issue...lol

I hope it didn't become a bubble bath!! I'm getting really nervous about adding the fish in tonight, dont know why. I just hope I dont screw up and kill him; I've had him a year.
I just noticed tons of pond snails! Teeny ones to big ones lol. It's okay though. Ill get some going in there and I'll feed them to my puferfish that I'm putting in the ten gallon

I can understand that.
We expect pics after the fish are in!!
It's official-he's in!! He's doing great too, right when I put him in he started swimming around right away. Pics to come tomorrow. More fish Saturday. I'm thinking 5 rummynose tetras and the gbr? Should I wait on the gbr?
Oh-funny/gross story too lol. When I was sucking on the drip acclimating tube, I got tank water in my mouth and immediately spit it out and I got some flem from my throat in the bucket with the fish. I nearly panicked and was rushing to fish it out. Phew lol.

Thats the worst part of maintenance is syphoning! Glad your guy doesn't have an extra slime coat now!

George9 said:Okie dokie. Just checked the water, nothing new that you haven't heard for the past few weeks. Ammo is 0. Nitrites are 5. Story of my life lol. Today is day 39 I think, it shouldn't be long
George,
I have a separate thread (no comments yet)? My ammo has never reached zero (fishless cycle) just .25 ppm, nitrates and nitrites at 5. I have dosed twice. I will check later today what the ammo is at. Please comment on my most recent thread.

That is a great picture! Sorry, I didn't catch this even though I am guessing you said it, what kind of rainbow is it?

It's a boesmani rainbow, I don't think I mentioned that. Sorry. I "rescues" him from a run down fish store that was closing. He's been with me a year and seems to be doing awesome on his own, even though they are schoolers.
