Hello,
I bought a new tank and wanted to start it fast. I learned it needed a fish-less cycle so but how long it would take is too long for me. So I've heard of Seachem Stability... But I've heard tons of conservancy from "I've used it and it's amazing" to "It's snake oil just do a fish-less cycle". Well I'm doing a 1-2 week long log to see how it really works and may hopefully help a little with the consevarcy...
Day 1:
Just set up 10 Gallon kit from Wal-Mart with:
- Aqua-Tech 10 Gallon Tank
- Aqua-Tech 5-15 Filter (With piece of water bottle to help with flow)
- Tronic 150 Watt Heater set to 77F/25C (I realize that the wattage is quite high and it's one of the 2 heaters used for a 75 gallon before it broke. The other has been in the other 10 Gal for quite a few years so I'm sure it'll be fine)
- Hood with 1 Fluorescent Light
- Top Fin Conditioner (Buying Prime tomorrow)
Tank is bare with no rocks, plants, background, fish... Anything. Buying all that tomorrow. I'm just letting everything run to make sure it all works well. Also buying test strips tomorrow. Any questions will try to be answered.
