heres my problem.
My wife surprised me ten days ago with a ten gal tank, she set it all up it has three danios and two serpa tetras. she chloranated the water and added some sort of bacteria that suppose to iliminate cycling (brand aqua clear). I know from all u helpful people that these products dont ususally work. so i started to test for the cycle and this is how ts going
2nd day A 0.0 nitrite 0.0 nitrate 0.0
3rd 0.0 0.0 0.0
4th 0.0 0.0 0.0
5th 0.0 0.0 0.0
6th 0.5 0.0 0.0 did a 30% water change
7th 0.0 0.0 0.0
8th 0.0 0.0 0.0
9th 0.0 0.0 ?? seen a slight change
10th 0.0 0.0 5.0
i cant figure out why my ammonia & Nitrite didnt really spike and how the nitrate went up. i anyone can help me understand this please.
thank you
