Hey folks I have been fishless cycling for about 3 weeks now with ammonia. Had a little jumpstart with a little filter media and some gravel. Last week the nitrites finally dropped to 0 after being high for a couple of days and I now have nitrates.
Problem is my ammonia would not drop quick enough in 12 hours and kept hovering around 0.25ppm. Using a API test kit btw.
So today I did about a 70% waterchange with dechlorinated tap water and soonafter the water got cloudy like a bacteria bloom >.> Did I screw up my cycle? Should I do another water change or just continue dosing the ammonia to 2-3ppm?
