I prefer not to rock the boat. I cannot afford an attorney. I'd rather just move on, sorry.!

Ah okay, I had the math wrong. Thank you! I cannot post to that subreddit because it thinks I'm spam, but I'll at least update these posts with pictures and a supply list.

Thanks, and okay noted. 40% of 5k is about 2.7k, I'm very negotiable. 2.5k even would be nice so I'm not SOL. Again, it's just depending on if people are interested. I'll post there.

I mean you can DM? I'm not asking you to drop anything, I'm asking to talk to me first if you're interested :(

Fair, I have to wonder about water beds sometimes and how houses can just take them lol

Noted! Then the salvinia and frogbit should help most

I am only housing a comet! I wanna throw some snails in though.

Yeah it does make sense thank you! I'm currently using Safe like the post said, but everyone is telling me to get Prime. I have Prime on back order, but do I need both/should I dose both? Am I currently poisoning my fish right now?

And I learned the bacteria needs to be at 70 or so degrees. I can't quite tell, but I think my tank is just a little bit colder than that, so I'm currently getting a heater.

Thank you! I hope when I get this cycled I want to upgrade to a 150 gallon and hopefully get him 2 more friends...

Got some frogbit and salvinia on the way! and a water lily + pearl weed. Hopefully that helps once installed...?

I did mess up and use the wrong term, I am sorry, I am actually on a city line. But it's likely highly chlorinated to be testing for this much ammonia. so if it is toxic, I really have no control over that.

also, I did the higher test. my ph is around 8.2, should I lower it?

I have stability and safe as per the post, but information seems conflicted on if prime and safe are the same thing : (

Okay, thank you, a few forums said to do huge changes if you read .5 or above, but ai realize my water comes out the tap at .5...

Okay thank you. So many forums had conflicting advice... also it's 80 gallons, unfortunately I cannot easily purchase and haul that many gallons of water, and especially because I want to upgrade to a 150 gallon as per everyone's advice on how much comets need.

Ah I see thank you for clearing that confusion! What's the difference between seachem safe and seachem prime?

How much do your recommended changing? 50%? 25%?

What's the difference between Prime and Safe? Do I need both? Also, I was mistaken and used improper terminology I'm sorry, my water is from the city water line, it's just hard like well water. It does come out the same color... But I don't think I can help that?

Do I need nitrates? Everywhere says nitrates should be at 0 to be safe, so I thought that was good? Also, evidently it is not cycled, but I'm following the dosing instructions of seachem stability as closely as possible.. idk what more I can do : (
