Yes, you have fish in there & your 1st concern is them, please continue doing WC. Dom't worry about adding sale, just make it FW & concentrate on getting that tank cycled. Of course you won't know when it is, without test kits. ;)

That's ridiculous. You need to sit down & explain how much you love puffers but got in over your head with BW & want to do FW.
