Hey there, my tank was fully cycled and in good condition (besides from an algae bloom a week ago thats somewhat under control) when my parent thought it would be a good idea to change the water. So, tap water was added in without being conditioned.
This happened at 2:00pm and I immediately added conditioner at 6:10pm when I found out...
My tank has an underground filter, so the beneficial bacteria is probably all in the substrate.
Did all the bacteria die? Tap water was in the tank for 4 hours.
If so, should I add some cultured bacteria like tetra safe start? But the earliest I can get it is in 2 days, so will that be really bad?
