Hi All,
Thank you for your feedback.
I have put aside about 3/4 of the 5gal tank of water and have an additional gallon set aside seperately that i can add as well. It has been sitting since late last night. I also bought a dechlorinator called Kordon NovAqua Plus Water Conditioner to remove the cloramines. I did not clean the tank with clorox which is my only concern. The fish that was housed in that tank died over a month ago and the tank was dry. Do we think that I should start over with clorox and wait for temp to return to room temperature again or would bacteria be dead already. It was only used for 2 days and no algae grew on it etc.

I did get some white and black sand for that tank instead of the "bite sized" gravel.
I already had the ammonia kit so I bought the Nitrate kit (nitrite kit was not there) and I am going to test the water tonight now that it has been 2 days and see what is happening in there before dumping that water.
I have to get some new filter media before using the filter but the increased water will hopefully help. Just worried he will not like the current since he isnt used to that.
Will keep you posted when I do the tests. He is still active and looking for food today.
