My Fishless, Plantless First Cycle..

[The Taffy Apple]

Good evening all..just thought i would post a quick thread explaining at what part of my cycle stage i am now at...

As was stated a few days ago, i am now officially at 'Stage 3' of my cycle... currently on day 4 of my 'Qualifying Week' and getting the elusive 'Double 0's' comfortably within 12 hours.

May i take this oppurtunity to thank each and every one of you that have taken the time to read and reply to my complete novices' questions and queries...i would NEVER have got to the stage that i am at now had it not been for your help..

No doubt i shall bore you in the coming week or so needing more of your expert opinions on stocking lists, i shall also continue to use this thread rather than starting yet another.

Once again, kind regards and sincere thanks..
terry.

Cheers WD.. but it seems i may have hit a bit of an obstacle.

Roughly every 3rd/4th day my NitrIte readings are still about 1/2ppm after 12 hours, then safely down to 0ppm afer 15..

The day before and the following day they are down to 0ppm easily within 12 hours..

Strange, but what would you suggest?

Any replies highly appreciated, Terry.

This is normal, it's just the way 3rd stages go. Every stage has something that will frustrate you. WD
