That was the 24 hour but it was better then the day before, it wouldnt even hit 0! Nitrites at 0 is what really made me smile because it was staying in between 0-.25. But i didn't see 0 in the ammonia today only .25! but thats ok i can handle that,....for now! AM reading (was done at about 10...

hang in there! Nitrites from what i understand is the bacteria that takes the longest to grow!

YIPPEEEE Ph8 Ammonia 0 :flex: Nitrite 0 :yahoo:

GOOD MORNING!! :fun: no we already had the spike!!! that had started at about day 5 and started to drop at about day 12! my readings this morning are: PH 8 Ammonia .5 (improvement) Nitrite .0-.25 (it is almost 0 color is so much closer to 0 then to .25) 12 hours of pure joy it sounds like...

wow i was going through tff withdrawl!! things have been hectic! Took the girls to boston yesterday went to museum of science and took the train in which they loved (personally i love driving myself places!) 630am is very early for a practice! You must get exhausted! But then again when it comes...

i'm sorry but i have to go off subject and ask what is trolling? ????

welcome to tff the forum that is single handedly saving me with my fishless cycle!

Did 90% water change last night topped ammonia up and added 1 tablesspoon plus 1 teapoon (3 teaspoons=a tablespoon) So my levels this morning where PH 8 Ammonia 0 :D Nitrite 0-.25 My levels tonight PH 8 Ammonia 0 :D Nitrite 0 -.25 So thats looking good! ammonia is dropping to 0 in 12hours...

oh ok well that makes it interesting!!! was the filter out of water for some time? being that it was in a previous tank if it was out of water all good bacteria would have died unless it was in water (and being fed so to speak). remember i am a newbie so use your judgement too. but if there was...

oh ok well you are not the first on here! :lol: my first tank was a 5gal and was a fish in cycle and worked out ok but we upgraded to 20 gal and i cut up media from 5 gal and put in 20 gal filter. I am in the process of fishless cycling another 20 gal. so you really need to get a test kit go for...

Hello there i am a newbie too! :D i can tell you that the people on her are wonderful and helpful! they are going to want to know some basics from you like what did you do to cycle your tank, what are your water stats in tank and tap (ph, ammonia, nitrites & nitrates) probably list filter type...

tougher it is!!! i went to grocery store and got a new box of baking SODA not powder will do another water change tonight and add baking soda! Yes this is Cassidy's tank and is fishless cycling! should i start testing for kh and other things? Alisha's tank is doing great the only issue with that...

also i have the 2 mesh bags with ceramics in alishas filter it has only been in 22 days so i doubt all the good bacs have grown do you think they have? think it might be a good idea to add a bag to cassidy's tank?

yes tap ph is 7.6 i took about 4/5 days i changed water late on july 9th! but from last night to tonight it dropped from 6.8 to 6.4 so i think maybe i need to watch 6.8 as a sign to be ready to change the next night lol that seems to be when it does a quick drop and i dont want to keep stalling...

last nights readings were Ph 6.8Ammonia .5 (topped up to 3) Nitrites 0-0.25 This mornings readings PH 6.6 ammonia 1 and nitrites 0-0.25 well ph is dropping again it is now at 6.4 Ammonia is at 1 and Nitrate is at between 0-0.25 So it looks like i am stalled again. I hope you know what i mean...
