Welcome to R2R!
Sorry to hear about your loss
I would keep up on the normal testing and while the tank is cycling time to set up the QT

For how many days should I test the water weekly or 15days.i have 70 gallons tank how much water should I change and for how many days.which is the best test kit for testing water

 

[Aruna]

I don't have any temperature control in my tank. The water is most of the. Time 26degree or 27

 

[twilliard]

When I cycle a tank I only test for no3 once a week.
Once I see it rise I start testing no2
You will need to have a heater but I am thinking you are talking about Celsius

What has to be the temperature in the tank. My DT is ready for putting fish. Do I have to test the watery before keeping the fish in it.i need to buy test kit still.i can get the water checked by store people.Its been six week i have changed the whole water.should I buy quaranten rank n keep the fishes in that first. My aquarium store people r telling to directly put in the DT bec They r assuring it does not have any problem.and this time I am planning to put fishes batch by batch.can i just pick the water from DT and pour in the Quarateen tank.
