Thank you!! I won't and don't use our town's water for my tank. U ranium was mined 2 miles outside of town. I use the 5 gallon water that's delivered to my door. At times, our town water comes out brown and stinks of sulfer. 😵💫

jwcalson I don't. It's weird how my liquid testing for ammonia; nitrites and nitrates all came up negative per my new API testing kit. Thank you for your response! 🌟
-
UPDATE: I received my API testing kit today and here are the results. The second photo it water in a glass with a white paper towel piece taped to the back of the glass (I don't have any white dishware). Thank you!

jwcarlson, I appreciate all of your advice and knowledge! I am using test strips. I have never had nitrites either. I have done a lot of "stuff" lol. I am completely guilty. I've been just so frustrated that I have had this ugly cloudy fish tank for so long. So, if during my water changes I test and the ph is off, or the hardness is high, etc. stiff like that. Do I leave it be or try to correct it? Again, this is where I get confused. My newby-ness is shining through 😊 You all are so awesome!
-
Thank you! But is it a filter that been used for a while? Do you know it's cycled when a water test shows slight nitrates? This is where I get massively confused. 🥴
-
I have never had nitrates, at least per the test strip. I have purchased 2 different ammonia test kits. If I've had ammonia this long in my tank, I'm shocked my Goomba has survived. I have mostly been replacing evaporated water. I've waited and waited for my water to cycle without water changes (except for the recent 15% change) for a month now. Does it really take that long? 🌟💯👍
-
You have been so helpful and patient 😊 how would you describe a cycled filter? A dirty filter? You explain things in a way I can understand. Thank you! Thank you!

Awesome! When you say sponge, do you mean a normal kitchen dish sponge? Is there anyway to cycle a filter without a separate tank? Thank you! 🪻
-
I did with hot water and vinegar. 👍👍

Thank you so much for your response 😊 I didn't use any cleaning products. I used boiled water to clean it. I am more than happy to start from zero! What should I do with my Goomba while the fresh tank is cycling? I appreciate your and everyone's input! I have been racking my brain about this. When you say established filter what does that mean? Do I use the one I'm using now no cleaned? How do you establish a filter when this is my only tank? Sorry, such newbie questions 😊
