I know cycling is nothing you can rush but it seems that my cycle is going really slow. Mainly with producing ammonia.
I am adding 25mL MB7 daily.
Day 1 added shrimp Ammonia: 0.003mg/L ph:8.0
Day 2 Ammonia:0.005 ph:7.95
Day 3 Ammonia:0.007 ph:7.79
Day 4 Ammonia:0.012 ph:7.84
I know the ammonia is slowly rising but from what ive been reading people are usually around the 3-4ppm range in a few days. Maybe the MB7 is combating some of this and the ammonia is being turned directly into Nitrite and trate? Ph was dropping for awhile and now seems to be going back up as well.
I am monitoring these levels with the seneye.
I am away from home this weekend so maybe the levels will rise a little more since im not able to add the MB7. Im contemplating buying ammonia from the store and spiking it to get the levels up and see how it reacts or should i just let the shrimp go and see how it does?
