Yea add that stuff in … thats what you want growing in the tank to make it cycle quicker.We sell turbo start or nitromax . Both of those have good bacteria .

lol I fall asleep infront of the tank sometimes

thats why I really want to get a 180 within the next few months. I would really love to keep that beast rather then get rid of him because I cant house him anymore. Cant wait until my Jardini gets bigger to go in there too.

I have two filters on it. One on each end. They are Emperor 400 Bio wheel filters. I also have a powerhead to give a little current and extra air in the tank.

Ok thanks I’ll keep an eye on him. So far he looks good, not very active but that is his normal behavior. Normally he would consume one of the algae wafers over night so I’ll see whats in the tank in the morning.

Any suggestions on a particular brand or style of water test kit I got? I bought some of the test strips with the tank, but I’m wondering if there is a better option.

I have never tested mine either. As you can see in my video’s, the water in my tanks are clearer then they come out of your home faucet. Once a week, 10% water changes with gravel suction and limited tank lights being kept on = good water.
