what's in the QT?

[clm08k]

How long have they been in qt ? Did you treat them with anything like pg ? If you wanna speed this up you could treat them then dump them in the main tank ibstead of waiting it out

They have been in the qt for a week. Did two doses of paragaurd.

What are ur tank #'s?

Will check and post when I get home

I was thinking of LJ. Sorry.

Sens get big, the Cb ones not as much

We don't really get WC Sens here, Mr. Africa.

I think Albino sens are typically the smallest of all - is that right?

I can get them dirt cheap toom just too big for my tank in the long run

I think they are, they are probably more inbred than normal ones

Yeah, keep on rubbing that one in, jerk.

woo! yay! I just put them in. Thank you for letting me know when to. I did put the glo danios in. Hopefully my poly will not eat them and become bioluminescent. Or actually that would be pretty cool....

kno4te here are the 55gal tank numbers: 7.6 ph, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate. I do have tests for phosphate. Should I check that before I put the plants in? I know the test will come back extremely high. that BB thing I bought didn't work at all. lol. Danios all looking good, eating, and I did the two doses of the paraguard. Just put them in the tank. When should I do my next tank reading?

 

[magpie]

Yay!!!

Add more BB now that there are fish in there. And put the plants in as soon as you get them.

I'd personally check the readings daily.

 

[kno4te]

Like magpie said. Check daily. Ur not cycled yet. Eventually the numbers will start to climb and water changes will be the only way to keep it holding. Adding seachem stability or something similar will help.

Very important. Do you use dechlorinator after wc?

Hkw many totaly fish are in the 55 ?

Did you dose the 55 with paragurd ?

 

[jaws7777]

If your using a dechlorinator wait 24hrs before u dose with the safestart. From the way i understand it the solution has ammonia in it and the dechlorinator will bind it in turn starving the bb. Would buy 2 of the large bottles.

If you dosed the main tank with the para gaurd i would do a large wc amd run some carbon to rmove it before using the bb.

Also you may have mentioned it already but what filter are you using ? Ac110 ?
