    I'd be getting that RODI working, or going to an LFS!

    Just outta curiosity, why are you so unsure about what was on them?

    personally, if I introduced an unknown chemical in my tank, i'd forget the cycle and start swapping out water ASAP!

    Ya can always get the cycle kicking again! Besides it will prob just slow it down, not stop it. hoping a pro chimes in for ya, so heres a bump!

    good luck
