Exceptionally useful! 🙏🏾 Thank you!!! I think youre the first person to explain the mistake I made 😂

[@RobinDrones]

Great helpful video. You have a new subscriber 🎉

Good informative video. I have used the prime or seachem safe in these situations, but I also use seachem stability along with it to boost the bacteria growth to catch up with the ammonia. Do you personally find much value in the bacteria in a bottle?

Some good advice there Ben 👌👌👌

Thanks Ash 💪🏼💪🏼

Another quality video dude, wanted to ask a question if that’s ok …. I’m going on holiday for 2 weeks , the tank has been going for 6 months so is very established, I do a 80% water change weekly ……. I am very worried about leaving it 2 weeks with out the water change ….. is there anything I can do???

[@TANK-TV]

It will be fine as long as you are not feeding which will also be fine as fish will go 2/3 weeks without food with ease. 3/4 days before gradually lower their daily food and gradually drop the temp 2/3 degrees to lower their metabolism. Do your normal water change the day before you go so you can check all is well before you go. As you not feeding the bio load will be absolute minimum so no water change for 2 weeks will be fine. When you return again slowly increase feeding from a little and slowly increase temp again. Most people actually report returning home to find the fish more active and colourful after a 2 week holiday and not being fed. Ow and keep your lights off unless you have plants or only at an 8 hour period if you do

@@TANK-TV appreciate the advice dude , I got back into the hobby and it’s all a bit daunting but guys like you are such a help !!!!! Thanks once again !!!!

[@paulclark22]

Thank you for the video, very informative and useful buddy. Can I confirm it’s ok to add prime with the fish / shrimps in? Currently suffering high nitrite and nitrates in my tank. Thanks again.

[@paulclark22]

I’m also going to enquire at local shops if they have cycled media 🤞

[@SimonCarson_Racing]

How did you get on? I’m in the same boat, zero ammonia high nitrite and nitrate

[@paulclark22]

@@SimonCarson_Racing after a week it leveled. To remedy I added some floating plants and daily water changes and adding some beneficial bacteria when adding water.

[@BIGDADDYTRICKZ]

@@SimonCarson_Racingsame thing add plants especially floating plants to help with nitrates levels also help with nitrites is constant water changes to add new water everytime and also some kind of beneficial bacteria in the sponge filter or where ever your filter is so the bacteria and grow on to and fight off and eat the other molecules to help with the cycle to work properly again

[@BIGDADDYTRICKZ]

@@SimonCarson_Racingalso clean out dead debris like dead plants floating around so you can help lower the levels of waste as well rotting plants are another thing that contributes to the cycle so clean out dead floating plants frequently also help with other live plants to soak up more nutrients from the environment as well

[@nathanmcgrath9038]

Detox it immediately with prime water conditioner then go about changing 30 percent of the water every day. I wouldn't do 90 percent unless you have fish dieing on you

[@K_oa]

If I use prime wont that stall my cycle?

[@kylejenkins9389]

No

[@nathanmcgrath9038]

No it won't

@@nathanmcgrath9038 did you just reply to a 1yo comment? Wowww thanks dude yeah since ive been standing here with my bottle of prime for a year now.
