i abandoned Tanks 1 and 3's cycle and added fish..with no big problems.
I am now currently cycling Tanks 2 and 4.
Tank 2 has been cycling since AUGUST 2011. i was advised to reduce Ammonia dosage to about half and slowly rise the ammount once it clears it for a few days.
HOWEVER....I reduced the dose from 3.6ml Ammonia (70L) to 1.6ml...it STILL isnt clearing this dose to this day.
The ph was dropping alot but has been stable now for a while. (i bumped with bicarb when needed too)
The Nitrates are off the scale, but even when reduced with W/C's it still doesnt help the filter cycle the Nitites.
Why can't i cycle my tanks??
Please feel free to browse my diaries for readings... ANY help will be apreciated xx
