Need help on Cycling tank
Hi all,need some help here as I lost touch on some stuffs
Been Cycling my tank for 18 days with 13 small tin foil barbs Ammonia has went down to zero n nitrate is on high side and ph hv drop and I adjusted it but the prob is no nitrite till now Every 2 days I’ve been using test kits to test but no sign of nitrite,cannot be so fast nitrite went down rite? Now dunno tank cycle already or not,still puzzle Anyone can advise? Tks 5x2.5x2 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 40-80ppm |
Should be OK as there is nitrate. You never see before nitrite? Take note of the Ph. What fishes you keeping?

Hi, think u mixing up nitrite and nitrate? you generally want to have 0 ammonia & nitrite, it is ok to have some nitrate present. :)

you'd generally want to have 0 Ammonia & Nitrites. Nitrates is less toxic to the fishes and that is why we do Water Change to get rid of Nitrates. i mostly perform fish-less cycle to for my new tanks. |
