lol. You know me, I freak out over everything. I definitely see poop in the tank so that's good?might have seen maybe 1-2ppm nitrates, but could have just been optimistic
. Will recheck.what's in the QT?

. Will recheck.
it's all good. No worries. It's 100% on me for not listening.
You guys are convincing me to do a python or something. Gotta earn some more cash first...
Keep waiting. Eventually it'll start to accumulate and change colors. Not cycled yet though as you know already

thank you! I probably cancelled out any BB with the addition of decholrinator the other day(due to low water level). But I learned my lesson and have been learning how to cycle properly thanks to you guys. Will let water sit for 24 hours outside before I add anymore. Until it's cycled, then I can do the dechlorinator?Keep waiting. Eventually it'll start to accumulate and change colors. Not cycled yet though as you know already
Might have ordered two cichlids I shouldn't have ordered..but will rehome them if they get fussy. I am not adding polys(showpieces) until the tank is fully cycled. Can't wait until that happens!
I think I could have said it wrong and or am confused. From what I understand, I think my BB is unstable because the tank is not cycled, so it's being created. I don't think dechloarinator kills it, but it could affect the rate the tank cycles if the bacteria isn't stable/established. Could be totally wrong though.
It will kill the bb so to say as it binds the solution of ammonia that the bb is housed in.I think I could have said it wrong and or am confused.

Not saying thats what happened to you but is the reason safestart recommends not using the dechlorinator.
Says salt water on the card does that matter ?
