Thank you, the last thing I would want to do is hurt fish in the process so it sounds like ammonia chloride is the way to go

I don't even have a tank filled with fish yet and I already find myself planning new tanks due to MTS. I am slowly convincing my husband it's necessary under the guise of needing a quarantine tank (which is true of course) but then needing another one when some fish don't get along, etc. I will have to make a purchase of some ammonium chloride

29 gallon tank. I have two plants right now (windelov java fern and anubias nana) with more on the way. I don't know anyone who fishkeeps but I have been thinking about going on my local neighborhood board and asking if anyone local would be willing to share.

I AM impatient but I also am inexperienced and I don't want to not see issues and let fish die because of it. I supposed I could buy the ammonium chloride (I would just add it to the pile of things I don't need ever again). Normal household ammonia might be good for cleaning windows, but I opt to keep my windows smudgy so birds don't fly into them if they are too clean ☺️. I did do the high range after the first round (and thought maybe I tested for nitrates wrong so I did it again) and I think I am at a pretty good pH right?

Hi all, I am an absolute novice at this hobby. I have had my tank running for 5 days now. I added Fritzyme 7 to the tank and added some fish food in hopes to get things moving. I received my test kit today (thanks aquarium co-op!) and tested my water and there is absolutely nothing going on here. Is fish food not going to be enough to get things moving? Should I be adding a couple fish and just test frequently and change water often? And then add more fish when it has been fully cycled? Thank you everyone for the advice.

Hi all, I haven't had an aquarium in my life since I was a child. Something recently jump started my interest in fish keeping. Conveniently at the same time, a semi local pet store chain was having a $1 per gallon sale, so I picked up a 29 gallon tank. While my tank cycles, I am trying to decide on what to stock my tank with. I will definitely be sticking to freshwater. My original plan was to get a betta along with some schooling fish, but as I learn more about the types of tropical fish there are, the harder it is for me to commit. I am not committed to bettas. I would love having fish in a variety of bright colors. I am not sure if brightly colored fish make suitable tank mates for bettas, though. Right now I have two lil plants but I have ordered many more (the vendor opted to halt shipping until the massive shipping delays with fedex were over) with the goal of having a heavily planted tank. I am having the hardest time narrowing it down. I would love suggestions. I am attaching a picture of my tank right now. Thank you everyone 😊
