LOL I got testing stuff for my 45g and I scared myself when I saw the results... Nitrate is 5.0 Nitrite is 5.0 :| I have no idea what that means though... Does that mean I need to add stuff to lower levels or should I leave it alone because its still cycling?? What do I do???
Okay I wont add anything. The water turning purple in the test tube just scared me. lol There are fish in there but I will leave it alone. I got bio spira for my 10g tank and I'm gonna add a betta is that okay?
I got bio spira for my 10g and I have 2 african dwarf frogs, a betta and 4 neon tetras. I did a 50% water change on my 45g and I'm going to wait a little bit and then test again.
Well the fact that you have Nitrate shows your cycle is proceeding well.You need to keep the Nitrite down below 5ppm though as thats a dangerous level.Try to keep it to 2.5-3ppm or under if you can.
I would think it won't be much longer before the cycles finished.
