Ok thank you again so much. I will get this and try it out. I will continue to keep an eye on the levels.

Thank you for being understanding. I will do a water change and keep checking my levels. I will let you know how it goes.

Lol did you really edit the part of you saying but you don’t recommend fish in cycles so you weren’t gonna help me. What an absolute joke.

Ok thank you. Is seachem prime that much better than aqueon or imagitarium? I’m just wondering because I’m on a budget and have spent a lot on products already that I have but if I need to get other stuff I will. I want to have the right products.

From working on the tank for a little now and the research I am doing I think you’re 100% right. Do you know any ways to help this? I have seen a lot of different stuff trying to figure out what to do and i don’t know if i need to leave it alone or what at this point.

Thank you for your genuine help. I’m trying to do right by fixing my mess up. The tank I used the media from had been running for about a month and looks really good but as I have recently been told many times the tank I used the media from may have not been properly cycled as well.

I understand that! It is after the fact I realize i cycled it wrong??? I’m trying to fix it moving forward dude.

New tank: Ph - 8, Alkalinity - 40, Hardness - 25, Nitrite- 0, Nitrate -20, Ammonia- .25 Let me get my old tank reading

No one is helping. Y’all are just reposting how wrong I was. My fish have been in the tank for over a month and I’m testing it daily. If you have any actual suggestions feel free to let me know.

I have been doing daily testing and have been using Aqueon Ammonia reducer which also reduces nitrates. Thank you for your response but I know why it is cloudy I am asking for suggestions on how to fix it but thanks anywa I used filters from previous tanks as well as substrate I didn’t just...

ok well i have seen a lot of things say a week. This is the first I have heard a month for a 10 g tank. I have been doing daily testing and have been using Aqueon Ammonia reducer which also reduces nitrates. Thank you for your response but I know why it is cloudy I am asking for suggestions on...

I recently set up a 10 gal tank that I let cycle for a week before adding 4 Cory catfish too as well as 2 ghost shrimp. The water looked a little cloudy from the start so I immediately swapped the water out and then let it cycle. It seemed to be ok for a few days then got pretty cloudy. I’m...

I would definitely be interested in a budget build. I’m not terribly worried about the costs however I have wasted money on buying way too small of tanks so I’m just looking for a more cost friendly option now.

It does have a filter and a small heater, Very very small. everything seems to be ok as of now. I have some terrariums with reptiles already. I’m not worried about the time or the cost requirements. I definitely will be getting a 20 gal soon as it is definitely a hobby I would like to pursue...

hmm I will have to check again. Thanks!
