Can I Get Fish?

[Slufa111]

My tank will process 3-4ppm of ammonia (which no fish will ever output) within 12 hours, however my nitrite takes around 24 hours or so...

I have been cycling for so long my snails are almost fully grown.....lol

for example, i added 3ppm of ammonia this morning and now my ammonia is at 0ppm but my nitrite is at .5

Almost there.......nitrites gotta be zero

Almost there.......nitrites gotta be zero

damn!


i guess its the best for the fish.....

Yip, wait til nitrite processes in less than 12 hours too. Not long to go, hang in there!

Yeh, I'm afraid you've still got a bit to go. Almost there though keep at it

I got a question,

is it ok to keep doing water changes to keep the pH in check?

 

[backtotropical]

Water changes wont cause any problems. Do them just before you add ammonia. That way they wont mess about with your ammonia levels too much.

Hey, promise we'll have a virtual party when you hit zero/zero

 

[Matty P]

Hehe sounds good

sounds good to me! thing about my cycle is the damn ph crash and it fudged me up. but my nitrite recently just was at zero yesterday

 

[Slufa111]

So, This morning I checked my stats and my ammonia was at 0ppm and my nitrite was at .5ppm

so I added 3ppm, I just got back from work, ammonia is at 0ppm, and Nitrite is at 0ppm.

AM I CYCLED?
