Fishless cycle

[Clem75]

Just finished my cycle with all parameters in check. Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 10ppm. My question is do I continue to feed my tank as I won't be adding fish for three days? I used dr.tims to cycle tank.

You can, but I would probably add a small cuc first.

Yes, what you're feeding the tank is a substitute for fish waste, keep doing it until you add fish.

What do you mean feeding the tank? Add some pellets?

All good but yes ghost fed until I got my fish.

Anything that would create ammonia. Basically substituting fish waste in order to keep the nitrifying bacteria fed.
