LOL whatever works for you. Since I got almost 800gallon in my house, Safe save me a lot of money on conditioner over time. :emt_thumbs:

It should be okay if you add fish slowly over the next couple weeks. Don't add everything at once.

Makes me wonder if I should have done water conditioning since the start of the tanks cycle and how it would have had any bearing on the cycle or overall plants health.

No problem. Have fun. Getting new fish is always exciting.

[bluethunder261]

I appreciate the advice guys....last thing I want to do is cause any undue harm to the fish.

Thanks for the advice. Adding the conditioner to the water and letting it do its job shouldn't have any adverse reactions to the fish when I add then say like a hr later.

It should instantly neutralize tap water.

I'm using Seachem Safe as water conditioner. Best on the market.

I'm assuming the water will be fine since it's been over a 24 hr period since the last 50 % water change.

I wouldn't take any risk to be honest. Water conditioner is cheap.

[bluethunder261]

Sounds like a plan then I'll just pickup a bottle and add I prior to adding the fish today.

Even though there's no fish in the tank, I think you still need to condition water. Chlorine might kill beneficial bacteria in the filter at water change if you don't add conditioner.
