Just one question, I assume your tank is cycling at the moment? How long has it been doing this?

Well its not really cycling, because iv had the yabbies and ciclid for a while now, about 2 months.

There are so many different brands for water conditioners.. anything in particular that im looking for? just remove chlorines?

Im unable to find out my levels of ammonia and nitrites as of yet, cos i still need to buy a test kit. I had my water tested at the LFS.

am I right in saying that you are in Australia? I know that they get yabbies in Australia, a bit like a vicious prawn.

You might not have the same brands as we do here in the UK. Have a look on the Internet, see us are any online shops in your country, then send me a link and I will have a look

Great observation.

I am in australia.

I found this product so far.

it seems to do the job description.

yes, that's what you want. I couldn't see how many gallons a whole bottle treats though.
