Fish-in Cycle

[greenscooby]

I really don't mind the long haul, just as long as i do it correctly and the fish and tank are happy then i'll be even happier, i shall do 2 water tests a day from now on and keep doing my daily water changes, hopefully they'll get less over the coming weeks. If my 2nd test reads high again can i do another water change(2 in one day) or will that be to much for the fish and the tank?

No, you can do as many water changes as necessary to keep the ammonia down below .25.

Brilliant, thanks very much for that, whether it's 1 or 2, 75%, 50% or 25% changes per day, i'll be right on top it, can't let my fish down!!!

It back busting work i can tell you that much

I got trapped in a fish in cycle and had to change the water everyday for about a month and a half. Got it cycled then 2 weeks later added some more fish and BAM back to 50% changes everyday. Getting sick of it but it has to be done
