I am testing my water tomorrow, a friend brought me about 2 liters of water from his balanced tank and I added to mine, this, so I'm told may help speed mine up? I really don't want to wait six weeks!!
He also offered me a live plant, and several neons... I'm told the neons may or may not work with a betta but figure I can remove them if they stress him...
I did take the hard plants out and added silk, and a hammock! And he's giving me a " moss ball?"
And...... He offered me a 90 gallon set up complete with stand once he gets his new tank.... Yikes! I told him I'd take it but won't attempt it for a while... Far to green for a tank that size!
