Hello. I am wondering if I could get some advice regarding my new tank. This is my fourth tank setupt and I have decided to do fishless cycling using pure ammonia. I would have done it sooner, but I only recently found out about how inhumane cycling with hardy minnows is. Here's a bit about my tank...
Any thoughts?
- 20 Gallons
- 84° F
- Day 7 (but only added ammonia on day 2)
- GH 0 (was 180) / KH 60 (used buffer to maintain) / PH 6.5 (buffer to maintain) / Nitrites 0 / Nitrates 20
- Ammonia ~2ppm
- 5 pieces of driftwood (3 from established tank)
- Pest snail invasion / have been removing about 1 per day (thanks Petco!)
- Gravel substrate capping Fluval, Carib sand on one side
- Assorted Crytps, Anubias, and other plants. Not quite a planted tank, but quite a few plants.
- Using Seachem Stability Daily
- White translucent fungus growing (sign of bacteria colonizing in driftwood)
Any thoughts?
