Fish Fanatic
Hi all,
This afternoon, I conducted a 100% water change on my newly cycled 120L tank. I treated the new water with Seachem Prime, and I'm now waiting for the water to heat up to temperature and the cloudy haze (I believe to be as a result of substrate disturbance) to settle down.
The original plan was to purchase fish tomorrow afternoon, but I'm now unable to do anything of the sort until next weekend. So my question is, how long does filter bacteria survive when starved of Ammonia? Obviously, I don't want to be adding more Ammonia because I'll need to conduct another water change; but also, I can't add fish for another 6-7 days.
I look forward to your thoughts and I thank you kindly in advance.
Cheers,
Luke.
