Okay, I'm back. Lost my previous thread to the changes...
I'm working on a fishless cycle (for the past 3/12 wks). Never did have ammonia register no matter how much I added.
Nitrites jumped right away, now have dropped to nothing.
Nitrates started at nothing - have gone up to 20 and now back down to 5.
KH - steady 50, GH steady 50, no PO4 registering, PH 7.5 steady.
Does this mean I'm almost done?
Also, I have a 108 gallon tank - once complete what happens if I still stock it slowly? Too expensive to do too much at once -although you never know - I've asked Santa for gift certificates! Will the bacteria I've been growing just die back to the level of fish I have?
Please tell me I'm almost done!
Also, never did figure out what that film was gathering on the top all the time but my LFS sold me an attachment for my fluval which draws part of the water off the top the tank and this has made the evidence disappear..
Please, please, tell me I'm almost done!
