Fishless Cycling Log - Add & Wait Method

Barry you are looking very good. I think its time to stop testing at 24 hours & just test at 12 hours.

I did it like this.

8pm dosed tank
8am tested tank
8pm dosed tank
8am tested tank

& so on.

Fingers crossed but I think you are nearly there.

I dont test nitrate at 12 hour mark so do it at 24 when i check the ph.
The only reason i do this is so that i can see the nitrate in daylight - still cant work it out though!
The ph is the only parameter i check at both 12 & 24 as i dont want any suprises at this stage!
