Guys just a quick question, as i'm doing a fishless cycle, when would the best time to do the first water change? A big one at the end of the cycle? Only been going 3 - 4 days so i imagine it will be ok? Ben

5th December 2009 @ 10.30am Thought i would to a Nitrite (NO2) test for the fun of it! Some seem to be producing, which is a good start! Cloud still present in the water but as previous posts state im guessing bacterial bloom is there! Ammonia: 3.9 mg/l (Ever so slightly lighter than the...

Very much so... altho today im going in for a cage fight myself, the budgie wont know what hit him!

Quick test this morning to test the ammo is in there! 4th December 2009 @ 10.30am Ammonia: 4.0 So will give it a week (by that time my api liquid would have shown up) then test her again, hopefully it will go down! Ben

I got the Interpret test kit too, Tablet, used it yesterday and it seemed ok, well it gave the readings i thought it might, started my main cycle yesterday (added first ammo to the water) so im going to take a reading this morning to find out! Ben

Did a small test today, not added any ammo or anything since the turn on, i bought the tablet kit so i thought i would give it a go, tested the 2 main at the moment, your right about a liquid kit, as the tablet takes ages to do the test! Tank Stats: 3rd December 2009 @ 11.30am pH: 8.2...

water: I did get the impression it was more about the sale, on the day i knew nothing about it at all, so it seemed very helpful, but he pointed out certain fish which are good for me to take in 7 days time. Now reading up he was pointing out Hardy fish (guppies, neons etc), thus i think it was...
