The Big Figfetti
Fish Fanatic
Is the cycle process different with a planted tank, as opposed to just a tank with substrate?
Iām coming on 3 weeks now with a fish in cycle 10 gallon tank. 1 betta, and eventually added 2 otos.
My daily readings have been 0 nitrate and nitrite, but my ammonia is fluctuating between .25 and .50 on a daily basis.
Iām doing daily water changes.
This seems like a long time to do this with a fish in cycle. Are the plants making this process longer? Iāve never waited this long for my saltwater tanks to stabilize.
My water source has 0 ammonia to start with.
