ROFL

your tank should do well now. give it even more time (like you havent already xD)

Best of luck.

Thanks, how is your goldfish making out in the 40 gallon?

As much as i dont want it to be in this tank, its actually doing great. eats, and uproots everything >_< It's like a bulldozer going through all the Flourite.

Nostrathomas · 10-30-2009, 12:37 PM

lol, yea I bet it does, that would drive me nuts, but I'm glad it's well

What dechlor were you using, before you started using Amquel Plus?

Nostrathomas · 10-30-2009, 01:44 PM

I used API tap water conditioner.

Newman · 10-30-2009, 02:24 PM

I used the API conditioner too before i ran out and got prime. its just one of those regular conditioners, it wont disrupt anything...

Nostrathomas · 10-30-2009, 02:30 PM

I've heard alot of good things about Prime, and not only from people that would benefit from me buying it, lol

Newman · 10-30-2009, 02:34 PM

Prime is another good water conditioner. most do their job well. i wont endorce prime tho...people might start jumping down my throat for using the expesive stuff.

Theres one thing i dont like about prime though, its lack of a dropper cap. it can easily be remedied by just poking one hole in the white stira-foam sealing cover.

I've decided to take some advice and just leave the tank be and let it do it's thing. There are no fish in it all all now, so there won't be any emergencies. As much as I like blaming Amquel for my troubles (Not that I'm gonna stop, lol) the truth is I got too impatient to add fish. I won't let this happen again. I might purchase Amquel again to use, oh, let's say, if I have a houseguest that doesn't want to leave. I could then simply open the noxious smelling stuff and hide it, this would surely speed up their departure. Or, maybe Amquel would be good as a paint remover, or for tough laundry stains......I believe there is some good in everything, and Amquel is something, which is a part of everything, so there has to be something it can be used for.
