We spoke earlier today... after applying First Defense to the replacement water, do I need to allow the water to sit for 24hrs before pouring it into the tank?

New tank...still cycling with Cichlids :fish:

I have never used First Defense but if its a water conditioner that neutalizes chlorine etc... then you don't have to wait.

Chlorine AND chloramine.

Dr. Tim.

My tank is still cloudy after replacing 10gal of the water (46gal tank). Should I use some type of chemical designed to clear the water or should I wait since I am trying to cycle the aquarium with fish? Would it harm my Cichlids?

I conducted the necessary checks after changing the water and these are the results:
pH level-7.6; ammonia-0; nitrite-0; and of course nitrate-0

What should I do at this point? I'm only 2days into this thing and I'm getting frustrated already.
:-? :-?

Are you trying to send him a private message or do you only want him to answer?

I think it's a PM. ammonia-0; nitrite-0; and of course nitrate-0. ???
