i have a 53 l tank im using as a fry tank but im currently cycling it (fishless of course
) i have in it 2 x fluval 1's and a box filter with zeolite and filter wool in.
the box filter is air powered of course and im using a 75 l/h pump - a tetra i think, this should be ok witht he 2 fluvals, am i right?
next my two questions are
1)the box filter is noisy and its in my bedroom so i turn it off but its on a timer to come back on during the day, the fluvals run all night though, whilst im cyclling the tank am i destroying and progress im making during the day by knocking it off at night
2) im using the "add & wait method" as pinned and im having trouble interpreting my results, wondered if someone could take a look and advise
PH - 7.8 ammo - 2.0 nitrates - 40 (im pretty sure this aint good) nitrites - 5 temp - 80F
using an api master dropper test kit
thanks very much guys
