TTM question.

[cmcoker]

Currently doing TTM, did transfer Wednesday evening, bleached equipment and put on back patio.
Started raining Thursday, and hasn't stopped. I don't have a lot of storage indoors, so equipment has been subjected to the rain.

Will the bleach and half a day to dry before the nonstop rain be sufficient to eliminate any cysts? Or should I consider this day one and start over? This would be third transfer, started TTM Monday night. (setup first tank Monday, 2nd done early Wed night because of my schedule) I was planning an extra transfer anyway

I think the bleach combined with drying out then the fresh water will have been sufficient. If your going to do an extra one anyway, then your golden.

That was my thought, too. I will be observing for 4 weeks after as well.

I think your fine. Besides... it stopped raining

Yeah you'll be fine. Theoretically exposure to freshwater should take care of anything by itself. Adding bleach and any drying is just that much more certainty. Keep ammonia down during TTM. Day three of each cycle is dangerous. Feed little. Remove excess food. Lots of prime/amquel.

Been using Stability, ammonia badge and siphoning leftover food, so far no color change on badges. I have prime on hand.
Unfortunately, have a tiny picky eater in there, a yellow clown goby. Think I'm gonna have to pickup some pods tomorrow.
