Just letting you guys know that I’m back up and running, tank is cycled, and I’ve been adding fish disease free for once.. Looking great, very happy!

Awesome, thanks! Emailed him and he got back to me already.

Great, thanks!

Thanks. I will look into it.

Anyone have good luck buying African cichlids, specifically mbuna, from a supplier online? I normally buy from livefishdirect.com, but lately he hasn't had a great selection I'd imagine due to high demand. Just wondering if anyone has had good luck anywhere else?

Yeah about 12 hours or so. I'll fill her a couple more times and wait longer in between draining and refilling. Thanks.

Woulda done that weeks ago but the kind I like was all out, literally everywhere. And now that I've salted, baked, rinsed, rinsed, rinsed, and repeated, it's all back in stock. Basically I'm just wondering if a little salt in the sand that's left is gonna be ok for the fish.

The powdery stuff is on my plant leaves as well after their bleach soak. It wipes off, but takes a bit of scrubbing. Assuming this must be the bleach broken down into salt form? Does anyone know for sure, is the bleach neutral in this form? If not there’s too much of it on everything to risk it...

Not sure if they loaded..

That white powdery stuff on the garbage can rubs right off. Assuming that’s the bleach dried out. Just hope that comes off the rocks. Some have it bad, some not at all.
