ok i have read them, and i hope nothing bad happes to my fish.


but i do remember why i did this, i did this to get my fish out of my bucket and back into their homes, in a way i did something called desperate measures, and i put their lives in marinelands hands..I dont know what exactly will happen , but i do know there was a small ammonia spike and when down pretty quickly and now it s back no normal...0..'


Wheather i did a wise decision i will know in a couple of weeks to even months.But so far , so good.

But i wont freak out when my new fish get ick.:slap:

The Bio-spira product is not harmful, it is simply unnecessary.

My fish were in a bucket, and i couldnt trust my mom with my fish, and my brother only has a 35 gallon tank or 30 gallon tank. so he cant fit that much in there.and i coulndt take them to a fish store because they dont really do that.

so my choice was to use bio spira , and put my fish back in theyre tank.

I believe this thread started out because you basically put your faith in chemicals that "found the right answers to the questions". I'm not trying to bash, but when you want to do something "any" excuse will do. I'd rather you say you want them in the tank rather than looking for consolation from us because your fish are in a bucket. I'm sure the fish could survive in a bucket or a 30g rubbermaid "BRUTE" for a couple weeks until the tank cycled properly and the fish wouldn't be any the wiser. I'm young and impatient too, but there are just some things that have to be done the proper way and cycling is one of them. Your ammonia WILL spike..the question is just when and how often and how much you're going to end up spending to try to keep nature from running its course.

i did put faith in my chemicals, i admitted that already.And i did whant them in my tank, how about you try that experiment and see if they survive in a bucket for a couple of weeks, i dont whant to try that out , thats for sure. I am using nature to my advantage, im not doing anything manually or synthetically to prevent nature from runnings its course, but just using beneficial bacteria that prevents ammo spike to my advantage.Cycling a tank from weeks to months will be a thing of the past, i can honestly say i cycle my tank after 3 weeks using sea-chem stability , again bacteria in a bottle, i did have ammo spike but nothing damaging, as all i did was a water change with ammo lock. and wallah! problem solved.

If there is something wrong with my tank i will post it, as maybe theres people that think i am an idiot, and theres no such thing.

But if this works? what? am i still and idiot?
