    Python No Spill Clean and Fill ADAPTORS

    I have removed the aerator and it is an odd size (much bigger than the Python adaptor) I have even took both pieces to a few different hardware stores with no luck finding an adaptor.... So I am just going to get a new faucet with a seperate sprayer and standard size end to fix the issue.

    Using a python vac for cleaning/water changes

    I agree... Hook to faucet...adjust water temp as close to tank temp as you can ( i use a spare thermometer just for this)...turn the bottom of the Python adaptor to the fill position... add enough of your dechlorinator (Prime is what I use)for the total number of gallons your tank holds to the...

    75 gal Setup Progession

    I dont think all stores will honor other sites prices anyway...so it may not really matter. You should print out the $105 price one too from their site incase they wont even honor the Big Al's price as it will still save you a pretty good amount of $$$

    can i use aquarium salt

    Water changes have virtually no effect on prolonging a cycle as most of the good bacteria resides in the filter media,substrate and any decorations in the tank.... Priority one is to keep your fish safe and healthy during the cycle...Do however many water changes it takes to keep ammonia and...

    High Ammonia.. Should I......

    Also be sure to keep an eye on your nitrites and keep them under .25ppm until the tank has fully cycled. This may involve doing water changes everyday until ammonia and nitrites stay at 0ppm How long have you been cycling the tank...and how was it cycled...with fish or adding another source...

    cloudy water after a weekly w/c

    I agree with the bacterial bloom theory..... Mine has done this before after a good gravel vac and rinsing my filters in tank water.... It only lasted for a day or two and was gone.The bacteria was playing catchup I guess and made the water alittle cloudy.
