I really don't trust the strips. Get some liquid test kits & have your water tested while you're at the LFS. Always test before WC. Also, to make things really easy, you can just add the puffers to the big tank with some Bio-Spira in the filter.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Where are you based? In the uk we have Bactinettes which is similar to bio spira
Re: Changing to a 65 gallon from a 10
Woah hold the phone, what is Bactinettes? I have never seen this before, does it work? Cause some like the one called "cycle" don't. But if this works, then great! I was really annoyed when I found out we couldn't get Bio-Spira.
