Yup, i did soak, but prob not enough. Was too anxious. Lesson learnt! The next tank I'm setting up, I will try the fishless cycling.
Do update us on your experience with using Purigen! As bro Psych mentioned, putting in a bag will only use up the outer layers of beads first. Prob have to keep cycling around the media inside the bag. I am hesitating to buy, coz I still have quite a few bags of AC unused. Will swap the old ones out after 3 weeks. If all the AC is used and the tannins are still present, then I'll prob have to go for the Purigen.
Thanks for visiting!
