Fish Crazy
I am cycling a 10-gallon at my apartment. It's pretty close to being done, I think. Maybe another week? But I have a major problem. I'm in a duplex-like living situation only there are 4 units for HUD housing. My next-door neighbor just started to use something REALLY strong smelling (body wash, shampoo, perfume... SOMETHING). That kind of stuff gives me migraines which I'm struggling with again because of insurance refusing to fill my meds the way they used to. Right now, I can't live there.I'm staying with my parents 30 minutes away. I'm going to TRY and stay overnight tonight... go later when the smell is least strong and leave early before she uses it again.
My problem is this tank! I can't stock it if I'm not going to be there, you know? I MIGHT have to move but there is no housing available within 30-ish minutes of my parents... where all my doctors are (I'm on disability) and my mom needs my help (beginning stages of dementia). If it comes to I just CANNOT stay there I'll move my tanks to my parents' place... keeping the filter in tank water, of course. But we're not at that point yet. I'm working with my landlord to mediate with this person.
In the meantime, if the tank cycles, what do I do since I can't stock it to provide natural nutrients from waste, etc? How much should I dose it with liquid ammonia? I assume that's what I'll have to do, anyway. It's a 10 gallon and I cycled it at 1 ppm as it will not be heavily stocked. Please advise. I'm starting to worry.
