For some reason I thought that since my gf used top fin bacteria booster the very first night I started the cycle( 20 gallons worth because we thought the tank was a 20 instead of a 10 at the time). My filter would not grow bacteria properly or not work as efficient. I panicked like the newb I am when the water got all cloud and did a horrible thing. I wish i put them in the 2 gallon bowl and did more research. sigh its too late the filter cartridge is all dried up.
any advice on what to do now?
I did post another thread regarding my filter but I needed more information of different nature sorry.
So when cycling fish in and you have a bacteria bloom or algae bloom do you take the fish out? Sorry for all the misunderstandings.
