nannalou, you’ll be so proud of me!!!
may nitrites are sooooooooooooo much lower. I’ve been following everyone’s advice and it’s worked! No surprise, you guys are superstars 😝😝
A couple more days of water changes and adding good bacteria, should be almost perfect!
Been a crazy learning...
Thank youuuuu!
Sounds like I just need to ride it out…. Any long term affects of Prime if I use it daily for the next few weeks until I ride out the cycling process?
I feel like that’s my best bet
I’ve just retested the water - 24 hours later since last 90% water change
ammonia .025
Nitrite 2ppm
Nitrate 20ppm
I think my good Bactria is low? But then again I’m mind boggled…. Almost starting to feel overwhelmed now
And I’ve just learnt something new!! Didn’t know that about the nitrite!
thank you so much!
what do you suggest I do, moving forward?
Appreciate your advice :)
Thank you so much for your detailed reply!!!
appreciate the effort.
this may answer your questions in full :)
1. I’ve tested my water before putting it in the tank. All ammonia, nitrite and nitrate read 0. Any water I’ve been adding, has been dechlorinated :)
2. I read a few days ago to use...
100% know that now. But I made the rookie mistake of putting fish in before knowing about cycling. That’s my issue, I keep getting conflicted info 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Thanks for replying! Appreciate the advice :)
I just finished a water change as I got your reply. I changed 35% water and added all the necessary chemicals into the tank.
Should I go ahead and begin again but change 50%? Or should I wait until tomorrow?
Thanks in advance :)
Hey everyone! I hope you’re well :)
this is my first post so please be kind! I’ve been reading so much conflicting info about high nitrites and I’m super confused.
Im extremely new to keeping fish and I want to get it right! I was told by my local fish shop to cycle my fish tank for 24 hours...
