Fish Fanatic
Ok so I had the brillant idea of getting a fish tank.
I started a fishless cycle and used the wrong ammonia ------------ changed all the water and began again.
The tank stalled and had a PH Crash, did a 25% water change and it worked but the ph keep stinking to below six.
My nitrite has been purple for well over 3 weeks. Even though the ammonia is being processed correctly.
I know the point of fishless cycling and really wish it was working better for me but I tried everything.
Tried:
1. higher temp (mid 80s)
2. power head (for better circulation)
3. water changes
4. Higher intense light
what the hell am i doing wrong? I bought the damn thing to store fish not a damn test disaster
sorry had to vent
