Final cycle Results?

[Lilt Man]

Hi all can you please comment on these results

Test results this week so far:

Monday:
Ammonia .25ppm
Nitrite 5.0ppm
Nitrate 15ppm

Tuesday
Ammonia .2ppm
Nitrite 2.0ppm
Nitrate 20ppm

Weds
Ammonia .1ppm
Nitrite .25ppm
Nitrate 20ppm

Today
Ammonia .1ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 25ppm


After testing the water parameters today i have zero Nitrites, 25ppm Nitrates and 0.1 ppm Ammonia.

Can i do a water change and clean the filters now or should i wait a few more days?

Is it normal to have a low reading of ammonia or is the tank still cycling?

Thanks in adavance.

It looks like you're cycled m8

Water changes are fine (small and often)

Stock slowly and watch the feeding....

Ammonia should really be zero - is it a good test kit? maybe check it against your tap water ....

Thanks WWW

I did a water change last night, fish are a lot happier now & BTW you will be pleased to know that i turned off the interanl power head as well

Any idea why i have a trace of ammonia in the tank still? as it has gone through the cycle process.

Test kit is fine but will test the water and see what results i get last time i tested the ammonia was zero.

Thanks for your input.

Hi WWW

THANKS for the advice.

I bought a new test kit today and tested the ammonia in the tank - guess what ?

Yep 0.0 - my other test kit was duff

The tank is MATURED using ABIL.

Thanks again.
