Fish are friends
Fish Crazy
Iām in the process of cycling my tank (fishless) itās been 10 days. Initially there was some ammonia around 0.25ppm but that is 0ppm now. The nitrites were around 0.25ppm and nitrates around 40ppm (thatās what my tap water reading is) now my nitrites are 0.5ppm and nitrates are 80ppm so I can see some evidence of the cycle but Iām not sure how to reduce the nitrites sufficiently to start thinking about fish. I have an Aquaone 240l tank with a boyu 35EF filter. It has a few plants in it. Would more plants help reduce the nitrite levels or would it be regular water changes.
