Hmmm-may Have Taken On Too Much!

So, I started off with 1 tank in a fishless cycle at home. That has gradually expanded and now I also have a tank with a betta in a fish in cycle at home, then at work, a bowl with a betta in a mini fish in cycle, a tank in a fishless cycle for axolotls and the axoltls in a tank with no filter.
Many tests and water changes! I've got up and gone into work early every day this week and it's killing me!
I so hope the 2 fish-ins settle down soon-they're the ones that really worry me. At least with bacteria, you're not going to find it floating on the top when you come in on a morning!
One weird thing-my original fishless has always been erratic, but the ones I've started using media from it have been almost exemplary! The axo filter one had only been going 3 days and I had ammonia and nitrites down to 0 in 24hrs!

Lol, sounds like you're getting to be our "cycler a bit too far out on the edge!"

I find that when things seem to get too hectic just because there are too many of them that it always helps to "document and schedule" things a bit more if possible. This helps sometimes to reduce some of the stress of feeling you might "miss" something. Anyway, just a thought.

Hang in there!
