Fish Saturday!

[lucasluke]

after 4 weeks of fishless cycling I am finally ready for fish! For the past week my ammonia and related nitrites have been dropping from 5ppm to 0ppm in 12 hours. I am getting my fish on saturday and I am wondering, should I dose on friday? For example my daily dosing time is 4pm each day. Should I dose 4pm friday or do the last one on thursday?

last dose Thursday then do a 90% water change on Friday then add your fish on Saturday sounds like a plan

Are you in the UK or US?
Make a thread on here asking if anyone will post it to you - I have no local donors on here but someone kindly sent me some in the post!

As long as the bacteria is kept moist in a bag with air, they will survive atleast 24 hours then start dieing off. People post it guaranteed next day delivery on here.

Sorry for the highjack, but to save time, the above sounds like a cycle stall. Might be worth posting a thread on this so we can help you find out why.
