SpikedLemonade Well-known member Jul 15, 2025 #363 Finally got the lower 40G tank set up. New high capacity submersible power filter with UV light may be too much for the tank. I will let it run until Friday and then test the water. If all is well, I go piranha shopping this weekend.

We have the same testing kit that Big Al’s uses and it tested well. I have added in the water conditioner and Frisk 7 which creates natural bacteria. Even though I washed the gravel from the failed cichlid experiment, that gravel also had the goodies. You are correct that I should now drop in some fish food into the tank as if there was fish in it. Tomorrow I will drop in some of that sinking cichlid food rather than the tropical flake. When I go pick up the piranhas, I will also bring him a water sample just to cover my ass and ensure a return guarantee just in case.
