cool. Keep on those water water changes, should be fine.

Ok Thank you I will keep doing the water changes, is the filter start and fresh start just as bad?

yes i would not use either. Do you know anyone with a fully cycled disease free tank you can take some media from? It would help. If not read the emergency cycle article in the library it will help. Use prime if you can get it as it will lock potential poisoonus toxins into a less harmful state, therefore less likely to harm your puffer but beneficial bacteria can still feed off it. Waterchanges are key right now tho, as many as poss.

Everyone I know has cold water gold fish tanks, I dont know anyone with a tropical fish tank and I dont think the people with goldfish have filters... I'll ask at work on the off chance

I just wanted to say thank you for everyone's help. Percy is doing so much better the water changes are working and the nitrite level is now safe -
