Aquarium Advice Regular
Ok, so do you think as I've put filter aid and a tropical starter kit in. Would it be easier to start again?? I probably being stupid as things are already starting in there. But if you don't ask you never know..

Also you can take a filter cartilage from your other tank and put it in your new tanks filter so to really quicken your cycle. But make sure you still have a cartilage in your cycled tank too bc you could start a mini cycle.

Jimlor123 said:Cool, I have the water temp at around 30c? Is that good? Don't know if it works but I put a picture on
JarJarDoink said:I hv a temp of 30c too previously. I bought a mini cooler fan for aquarium and it cool the water down to between 27c to 28c... I believe thats the recommended temperature...
Jimlor123 said:All is fine with water tests . Added 3 platy's just to help with final stages. Of cycle. Due to reading something about spikes, and how they won't settle until a few fish r introduced. Does that sound ok? Thanks for all the help and tips
