Folks, I am still a little confused about what is happening in my Fishless Cycle. I have continued to monitor as per what seems to be the "standard' approach. I have been monitoring my Ammonia, which eventually cycles down to around 0.3PPM, and the Nitrites have been stable for ages (my Ammonia...

As well as the Ammonia Dropping down to 1-1.5ppm. I noticed I had the tiniest little snail on the wall of the tank, but he can move like lightening, should I leave him for a while, or end his early life ? Advice please ...

Today, 7th April I believe I have a Drop in my ammonia levels 'yeeeehhhh', I have a reading of 3.7 ml, thanks for the follow up Kitty Kat, I think when I get a drop to Zero, I will only go back up to 3PPM as recommended, at least then I can measure changes more accurately,

Ok Thanks, no sign of anything at the moment, everything looking very green and healthy, there was a lot of cloudiness in water for 2 days, but now it is beautifully clear, and I have been checking surfaces and plants for any sign of anything, I have the Light going on for 8 hours a day at the...

Yes, i am watching carefully for any Algae bloom, but it appears to be OK for now, I was just a little surprised that the Ammonia and Nitrites were so High together (given I had not introduced further Ammonia to the tank... However, I did put in a 3 cm Plant Nutrient substrate and then 2 cm...

Just as a quick check, I have retested my tap water (I work from home so it has its advantages), no Ammonia, No Nitrites and no Nitrates, and I also tested PH, and that was 7.5-6' ish

I added 5PPM Ammonia on Friday 1st April to the 90 Lites of water (approx 21 gallons based on the Caclulator from this site (so effectively 5ml initial dosage), the Results have been as follows (I did not measure Nitrates or Nitrates at first) :- Date NH3 (Mg/L) NO2...

Hi All, I have recently set-up and am Fishless Cycling a Fluval Roma 90 Tank for my 11 year old Son. I am into day 5 of the Cycle, and I am still seeing Ammonia at around 5PPM (I am testing using Nutrafin Test Kits), so the reading is 6.1 for NH3, however, I am also getting the Nitrite readings...
