ok... well i added my powerhead filter in today so maybe fish gonna go in on weds

[eklikewhoa]

I only had fish and maybe 4 small rocks from the old tank. Everything else got a deep cleaning and new filters.

All my tanks were set up this way, I've tried the bacteria in a bottle and I think it just made everything worse.

[cu0ngsayz]

lol, is your media new or old?

the eheim is new the wet dry bio ball is used. but i rinsed them off and cleaned the wet dry so idk if that still consider as having bacteria

[cu0ngsayz]

Funk the gold fish and funk cycling tanks.

Switch out that 2262 canister with someone and you ready to go.

Just switch back in a month.

I did this with ssrprelude. Added 60+ petros in one day. Zero issues.

Dry bacteria is ok. Bacteria has a way of preserving itself by forming endosperms. When it gets wet again, it begins to multiply again.

I added water in on Friday. Then took out half today so it's easier to put rocks in. You think I can add fish in already?

lol, is your media new or old?

[cu0ngsayz]

Oh really? Was your filter media new or old Q? The eheim is new media. The bio ball is used but it was dried so basically no bacteria on it.

[moganman]

If everything is new, I wouldn't add fish. If you have some used bio balls, media, sponges, etc, use that and let it run for a day or so to be safe. As far as the scape, I would try building it more heavily in certain spots and leaving some parts open. That's more natural. You scape looks really good, but if it were mine, which it isn't I would have some open spots and stack up in the corners and in the middle.

[eklikewhoa]

I moved all my fish into my new tank as soon as I got rocks. Then doubled the bio-load and if it wasn't for my cyanide incident the tank was crystal clear and happy.
