Soaking them in a bleach solution say 20:1 water to bleach would probably do it.... If not add alittle more bleach and just let it soak. Just be sure to rinse everything good afterwards and also let them soak in some water with alot of dechlorinator in it for awhile to neutralize any bleach left...

I think it mentions on the bottle that each thread in the cap is about 1ml (1ml treats 10 gallons)...So add a capful (5ml)then a alittle more to get over acouple threads in the cap and you should be good to go.

congrats....

CL post has already been deleted...so I would guess it is spoken for already

Was meant as a joke from your reply above

Your probably fine then with your water conditioners then... I would still consider either going to 100% tap water or to the 50%-50% RO and tap mix just for the fact as it would make water changes easier and faster.

no problem ........hopefully they will take it back and give you some instore credit towards other things.

Read the faq on the Seachem site...it explains alittle better what I was trying to say http://www.seachem.com/support/FAQs/Prime_faq.html

If you roll it in a big enough ball you might could use it to wash your car with ;)

I am just saying it converts it to a safer form of ammonia yet it can still be used by the good bacteria in the tank...but is safe for fish. Alot of tests will still show the converted form as regular ammonia...when in reality it is a false reading. Maybe someone else can explain it better......

You need to get rid of the Bala Shark ....they can get 12-14 inches long when full grown

It is a water conditioner.....Here is a link: Seachem Prime

Means that 100% tap water would be fine aslong as you are using Prime as your water conditioner ... Here is some of what it says on the bottle: "Prime converts ammonia into a safe,non-toxic form....... Detoxifies nitrite and nitrate allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them " So...

I am sure most know....but they also know what they need to say and tell thier employees to say to make $$$

Nice... Might want to look into a larger watt heater ... 150 really isnt enough for a 55g ... I would atleast get a 200w ... I have a 250w Visi-Therm Stealth in mine.

Vacuuming the gravel shouldnt hurt anything as most of the good bacteria will live within your filter... as waste builds up in your gravel and decays it will produce more ammonia and that is not a good thing while doing a fish-in cycle. Just do as mentioned and keep ammonia and nitrites at...

When testing your tap water pH let some sit in a shallow dish over night and then test it...this will give a true pH of what your tap water will be once it is in the tank....many times it will test much lower after it sits out.

They will be fine once they settle in.... My GBR's have never been aggresive eaters...They just swim around and get what they can..but then they are smart enough to move to the bottom and start feeding while all the other fish are still waiting for stuff to fall in thier face :)

Good choice :) But like stated above.... cycle your tank before buying any fish http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84598
