Tropical Fish Tank and Aquarium Information

Go Back   Fish Lore Tropical Fish and Aquarium Forum > Freshwater Aquarium Fish Forum > Freshwater Beginners

Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Day 6...
Today's readings:
ammonia: 0.3
nitrite: not tested
nitrate: not tested

I then performed a 50% water cycle. I hope the Tetra SafeStart arrives soon.

I ordered the Tetra SafeStart on Oct 7 with priority shipping (1-3 days). It says it will arrive on Oct 13. Somebody's math is way off. I'm going to call and complain... I payed quite a bit extra for 1-3 day shipping. I'm quite irritated.

I hope you get the TSS soon, did you pay extra for priority? Keep up the water changes, you're doing what you can right now.
How are your fish?
