I would do water changes as much as needed. It wood be a great idea to treat for ammonia and nitrites daily. You can add the packet from the sand if you want, water could just be cosy for a day or two.. but usually settles out nicelyI will pick up prime and an ammonia badge tomorrow morning. I always used prime with my fresh water tanks and loved it. The live sand came with a packet of bio-magnet clarifier. Should I add that to the dt as well? The water is pretty clear. If I put a small filter on the bucket will I still need to do water changes all the time? And what percentage of water should I change in the bucket and should I do water changes daily?
