Question
Hi I just got a new fish from my teacher and he gave me AquaPlus....I was wondering if i could clean out the new tank with Aqua Plus and clean the stones and stuff.... But i dont want to kill him ... will the Aqua Plus on the Rocks And Tank Mess up the amount of Aqua Plus in the water??

Answer
Hey Caitlyn

If you wash anything, you will disturb the tank and restart the cycle( where ammonia, nitartes and nitrite are involved.)  I could spend ages telling you about the cycle but this website will give you more info.

Experience

I have four tanks currently set up. One five gallon with a male paradise fish in. A 10 gallon with three albino cory cats and two rejected neons that weren't excepted in my old shoal but out lived them!. A 20 gallon with 8 leopard danios and one male paradise fish. And finally my pride and joy, a 25 gallon planted, with 6 glowlights, 7 harlequins, 6 cories ( 3 peppered, 3 panda cories ), 14 neons 2 guppies, 1 oto and 1 SAE!.
