Tetra safe start

Good morning fish lovers,
today makes a week and with no water changes it seems that TSS has worked so that makes TSS 50% success rate for me
amm 0ppm
nI 0ppm
nA 5ppm

as most of you know TSS gave me heck in 125g its finally right and gave no problems with 75g go figure ... guess 25-30% water change today

It does seem to be pretty random how well it performs... my experience wasn't quite as "clean" as you've experienced with your newest tank. But, my fish did survive, and did not seem to suffer toxin side effects. It does seem to be a great product, for emergency situations; like cycle crashes after medicating and such. But I'm not sure I would use it again for a new tank+fish... it was too hard worrying about them all the time!

whahooooooooooooooooo ....such a good feeling... but id do a smaller change than that and mainly just do a gravel vac with about 20% water ....mainly to get the waste up after a week and not so much to dilute the nitrates ...I have been fortunate and had 100% luck with it...

that's what i'll do then ..... since 125g needs a change also.... tom is getting mentally prepared to do water changes on 2 tanks ...lol
