Hello all, I'm about to order 30 White clouds for my 75gal, and was planning on quarantining them to prevent any disasters with my current fish. My issue is that the quarantine tank that I have for them(40 gal breeder) has no bacterial activity after a few weeks of running(ammonia with no nitrite or nitrate). The quarantine tank is serving as a plant holding tank right now, but mostly has slow growers in it(java fern, amazon sword, valesenaria) the only fast growers is duckweed, and a little bit of limnophila heterophylla. There's a small fluval hang on back on it, but that's the largest filter I have available.
Admittedly my fault for not properly cycling it but at this point I'm trying to find the best course of action for getting it ready. I also don't have very much time to order them because of the cooling weather, and I'd like to get them this week.
I'm ordering the fish from aqua huna, a store I have experience with and feel is good for bulk buying, but they only ship out on Mondays, puting quite the restriction on what I can do time wise.
I know there's ways to make this work I'm just checking to see if anyone with more experience has some good tips.
