Ok, so as some of you may have read my 300 liter Seabray Dolphin cracked when I was filling it prior to starting to cycle it.
As a result I have been running my filter in a 50 liter storage box since sunday, dosed with ammonia.
I have just changed the water in the storage box, and I am going to cycle the media in my filter using this untill I fix or replace the tank.
Equipment list:
50 Liter storage box (acting tank)
Eagle Aquatic HW-304 filter with mature media and additional fuval bio max ceramic rings
Fluval E300 heater (set to 30C)
API Master Test kit
Declorinator - Aquacare water conditioner
Ammonia - Boots household ammonia
Tap Water stats:
GH 14
KH 14
PH 7.4
Ammonia 0-0.25
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40
