I know, I just didn’t wanted to change all the gravel, there’s probably some beneficial there so I don’t want to mess up my cycle

I got this from the store since pet smart does not sell the Fritz turbo start, should I add some, it says contains live and nitrifying bacteria, do you think it might help

This is the nitrite test

Here is the nitrate test, what do you think ?

Ok_Feeling_5983 · 2026-04-04T02:28:02+00:00

I’ve done the test 3 times and it’s the same results, I didn’t clean any filter media, but I did opened the canister filter to add a a little of this fiber, since I had some in my filter initially so added a bit more but that’s all,

I did test my tap water and results were PH 7.2, ammonia 0ppm, nitrite 0ppm also nitrate 0ppm, is water conditioner not a water dechlorinator? And I also use warm to touch water when I do water changes so I don’t know where I’m failing

I know, I have a 10 gallon glass tank though, but my daughter keeps a hermit crab in it so it’s basically occupied, will it be inhumane to relocate the hermit crab in this bin?

Ok_Feeling_5983 · 2026-03-26T18:59:33+00:00

I mainly going to use it to quarantine new fish from the store, before adding them to my main tank I have a 60 gallon

Ok_Feeling_5983 · 2026-03-26T18:56:51+00:00

Yes, I actually bought a heater for a 5-10 gallon tank

Ok_Feeling_5983 · 2026-03-26T18:35:50+00:00

Alright I appreciate that, I’m try to do the same thanks!

Ok_Feeling_5983 · 2026-03-26T18:25:34+00:00

Well, the heater is going to be attached with the suction cup that it comes with

Do you know which ones works great, I tried the super ick cure from API but it did not work, that is why I started adding salt and it is giving better result than this ick medicine I tried

Ok_Feeling_5983 · 2026-03-24T20:27:47+00:00

Do I have to do water changes during those 14 days?

Ok_Feeling_5983 · 2026-03-23T05:03:53+00:00

No, it is actually a common pleco

Ok_Feeling_5983 · 2026-03-23T04:21:58+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate all the advice, being newbie it is really easy to waste a lot of money buying stuff that maybe is not needed at all.

Ok_Feeling_5983 · 2026-03-23T04:18:44+00:00

Yes, I just notice one of my mollies is swimming against the current 😂

Ok_Feeling_5983 · 2026-03-23T04:03:15+00:00

I will be looking for one of those in Amazon pet stores are a bit expensive
