Bobby -- In the meantime, I plan to change out 1/3 of the water each morning with pond water. I'll also be be checking aquarium nitrites/nitrates and pH late every afternoon. While in the aquariums, I'll probably only feed once a day.
I figured adding established water would help a lot....
Just thought I would put that out there just in case...I have killed lots of fish that way over the years..
I Once owned a seafood market and had a lobster tank. when I set it up I went to the beach and got the water instead of making new water. never cycled it and never had an issue.
