Re: Christmas Tragedy in My Tank

Back from the LFS with new test kit. The ammonia is up along with my nitrites as I suspected. One question I was hoping someone could help me with...since I still have all my fish in my tank, and, since the tank has been around forever, is it better for me to use or not use stuff like TLC or Stresszyme to excelerate the cycling of the tank? Right not my fish do not appear stressed (though i am sure they are). Meanwhile I am continuing water changes and carbon for now. That leads to another question or two, how often should I be changing the water? Been doing 20-25% a day since Saturday. And...how often do I need to change the carbon? In the past I have changed it monthly, but I assume I need to change it more frequently while it cycles????

I'm sooo rusty at this new stuff.
