im just doing a fishless cycle. Just checked the water and its got the same readings as y smaller tank and its only been cycling for 2 days. is it ok to put the fish in?
only thing i have added is some biological supplment that i got from my LFS. the fx6 i bought is also brand new, just wondering is cycling has to be for a set time or is it until the read outs come down?
To start a cycle requires the presence of ammonia. In a fishless cycle you add the ammonia while in a fish in the fish produce the ammonia. At the top of this page is a series of links, click on the one that says Cycling A Tank.
Be very careful when calculating dose for this as it is high strength at 35%, most people say to get 9.5% pure ammonia from hardware stores but I did not trust that so bought this specially for aquariums. Don't know at the moment if this is any good or not as am currently doing a fishless cycle as well.
