Hi folks! Looking for you opinions on how my fish tank cycling is going. I have a 23g. We've been putting in media and water changes from 2 established 2.5g tanks. Below are test results recorded from an API Fresh Water Master Kit:
3/21/09
Ammonia = 0.50 ppm
Nitrite = 0.00 ppm
Nitrate = 5.0 ppm
3/28/09
Ammonia = 0.50 ppm
Nitrite = 0.00 ppm
Nitrate = 5.00 ppm
4/7/09
Ammonia = 0.25 ppm
Nitrite = 0.00 ppm
Nitrate = 10 ppm
So I gues it's good that I'm seeing ammonia go down and the Nitrates up, but I never saw a Nitrite spike. I never did find 100% ammonia so we are going with this route instead of using fish. Do we keep going like this for a few more weeks? Thanks in advance!
