    Completely gave up on ever hearing from Jeyes company in new Zealand. Still awaiting a reply . A week after shaking the cloudy ammonia, it still has bubbles on top of the container so am pleased i did 100 % water change.

    Oh I panicked and did a full 100% water change. I had shaken the bottle. So back to square one. Recycling tank. I'm using a carbon insert in the Hailea pump, should I remove this to cycle.

    Hi New To Forum And Fairly New To Tropical Fish Keeping

    Firstly we were given a small 30 ltr tank which with no knowledge we filled with water left running for a month then put some plants in. To cut a long story short we #did not test the water at all #put fish in and needless to say lost the stock. I have a feeling we overstocked the tank but have...
