75G NEW SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT FISH

[Deep Blue Sea]

I went to the lfs today and bought some awesome black sand 3 6" clown loaches 2 monster goldfish a thinbar datnoid a 6" orino pbass and some nice rocks!
Heres the tank with the MONSTER goldfish and the Orino helping change the water so its safe for other fish.

Why the hell would you buy goldfish with that stock??? tank looks cloudy and unstable. Better get like 2 more tanks. Nice Orino if it is

tanks cloudy cuz of the new sand and the goldfish will be given back to the store or sold when they are done making the water safe for my other fish

so you mean your tank hasn't even been cycled yet?
you have to cycle it with or without living organisms before you add fish like that.

those are some big ass goldfish

But if you are gonna cycle it with the goldfish before you get the other fish, why do you already have the other fish? I'm just sayin', you need to get those sensitive fish in a stable tank ASAP

I've always done this before with goldfish and it speeds up the process and I'm using chemicals to make it so the spike isnt very high. the clown loaches and datnoid are in my 55 until they go in here but for now these guys are doing fine

use a koi to cyle it, then give it to me

Pretty dumb having that orino in an uncycled tank. Since you have a cycled 55g...you should have done a wc on the 55...draining that h20 into your 75. As well as taking media from ur 55g filter and puttn it in the 75g filter. Would have been a much safer route.

Hope you dont lose any fish.

I took 30 gallons from my 55g, 15g of cycled water from my lfs and then 30g of tap water treated with 2 different chemicals to help it cycle faster and not have a super high nitrite jump so I dont think its ganna be a super hard cycle
