hi guys, cycling a new tank using:
Dr tims one and only bacteria
Dr tims ammonia
200g water volume (accounting for sand and rocks)
API test kits
I followed the instructions but ive been getting 2ppm ammonia and 2ppm nitrite since day 2 and its been the same till today (day 9) where the ammonia dropped to 1ppm and nitrites stayed at 2ppm. i don't remember my first tank looking like this, it had a more uniform rise and drop.
On the instructions its says
"If ammonia and nitrite are below 1 ppm add 2 ppm ammonia."
and
thanks for the answers
Lean~

and
- Days 7 & 8 – Measure ammonia and nitrite. On the first measurement day (Day 2, 4, 5, 7 or 8) that BOTH ammonia and nitrite are both below 0.5 ppm (NH3-N or NO2-N) your tank is close to being cycled.
- When BOTH ammonia and nitrite are below 0.2 ppm (NH3-N or NO2-N), add another 2 ppm ammonia.
thanks for the answers
