Thanks for you reply,I thought the OP said there was around 20ppm of ammonia in the tap water. If so, I would suggest to keep using the conditioner that removes ammonia. I have some in my tap water and use API Ammo Lock for my water conditioner on all water changes.
As per the LFS - we have in our area hard water - over between 150-220 PPM so they said the 'buffer' is quite big for changes...
never the less, will continue to use the same water conditioner - just to be safe and will continue to check water parameters...
On a different note - didn't have the patience, and went ahead with the re-shaping - with fish still in the tank,
will give the filter a few more minutes to clear the water and will take a picture
so very happy with the results!!!!!
I love this hobby...
Wife thinks I'm crazy as Iv'e spent 'mucho dinero's' on this hobby in just a few months and now am wanting a much bigger tank to be the center piece of the house, something in the lines of 1.2-1.5 meters...
Here - it is crazyyyyyy expensive - a tank that size would go for the equivalent of 2000 USD$.....................
Pictures to come in a few
