This is a fun one. I am cycling a small tank (14l)
Anyway in a bit of a cycle - water evaporates - top it off with dechlorinated water (adding ammonia as it is in the water and so is chloramine) anyway lid is on and it is still evaporating off quickly. So in a position with tank cycling both NitrIte and NitrAte are present, but the ammonia levels are high 8ppm.
So my dilemna is to treat this as an add daily cycle, since every time I top up I add a small amount of ammonia 0R to change the water and be back in the same position in 48 hours
This is while mum and I faff around waiting to get the proper materials to make a better lid.
