Hey guys,
Weāve been having a small 10 gallon tank for a while now and got our new 55 gallon tank a couple of weeks ago so weāre still pretty new to all of this.
We decided to do a fishless cycle on this new tank. Our nitrite levels are already pretty high and have been staying high for a week now. The ammonia levels tend to fall below 1 every 1 or 2 days so we add additional ammonia. Iām not really sure if itās okay to keep adding this much.
Also, since a week there have been little worms swimming in the tank, among with the snails that came in with the plants.Are these worms harmful to the cycle and/or later to the fish?
I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips or guidelines to know that weāre doing good or need to do something different.
Hereās a picture of our tank:
Thanks in advance for your comments.
