The yellow bottle was in the fridge, cannot recall the name. I can see why you are confused, but i have written it wrong. I was talking about two different tanks. The Fry tank was checked by a mate of mine, did three tests on it. Thats why i didnt see the test until i went to get some stuff...

Firstly, i cannot see any post in this thread that you have edited, maybe its somewhere else. Secondly, why am i going about it the wrong way? Mike

Im kind of confused with your reply to be honest. Is that because i have decided to cycle with fish? Before the chemical strains of amonia, and the test kits, back in the good old days EVERYONE cycled with fish! Mike

I was going to change the water before any meds. But as it is i no longer need to worry. Don't have them anymore. The fish i mean. My mate took them to his sick tank. While i cycle my 60L again! Mike

Thats not very helpful.

No, i didnt use a gravel vac. The situation has now been changed. I no longer have the issue because i gave the fish to mate. (He knows they are ill) Drained the tank. Cleaned everything. Even the filter. With TAP water. This was because i didnt want to risk contaminating the Fry tank with...

How do i lower the level? With w/changes? Mike

Yeah, but last time i checked you don't get Fry from 2 male fancy tails. :lol: Mike

Just curious - How long have you been cycling the tank?? Mike

Its 04:35. I have a sleeping condition. Been up for about 49 hours now. (Believe it or not, thats nothing) So, how long after the 50% w/change should i test again? And how long until the lvl goes down? Also, what do i do about amonia poisoning if applicable. Mike

So, you suggest i simply do water changes every day??? How much?? And what about the med's for the ich? Mike

Ok, so lets focus on the fishless cycle you recommended. Ignore the 60L tank. Ill sort that out AFTER the meds. But to start a fishless cycle in the 125L tank what do i do first? Take into account i have already had it running for two days, it has plants in it, and also has Cycle and Aqua+...

Like i said, i do a partial water change of about 20% EVERY WEEK! And as im sure you can tell 4 guppies and 4 small plattys in a 60L tank is not overstocked. I have had fish tanks since i was about 18, so, only four years. And as i stated i was never aware nitrIte and nitrAte were in the tank...

Right, ok so first thing is first. I have really bad nitrIte and nitrAte levels in my 60L tank. And to top it off the guppies in there have ICK! Im honestly thinking about getting everything out of the tank, getting rid of the fish and starting from scratch. But, i have two problems with...

Tanks been set up for about 5 weeks now. And it was "cycled" with Cycle, lol. And the problem only really started in the last three/four days. I have never had any problems with bigger tanks over 100L before, thats why im not as worried about the cycling. That can wait until my little tank...
