Well, as some people followed a few months back, I was conduction an experiment on a product called Biozyme, which some very experienced fishkeepers near me swear by. So with the help of my husband, who is going to set the tank up and stuff for me (I can't as I just had surgery), I am going to do a fishless cycles on my 65g hex in hopes of seeing whether or not biozyme has an affect on the cycle.
Supplies:
65g Oceanic Hexagon tank
2 Marineland Penguin 200 Biowheels
Water (see parameters below)
1 - 8g vial of Sentry AQ Mardel Freshwater Biozyme
1 bottle of Janitorial ammonia
Once the aquarium is filled, I will dose with ammonia and 5/16ths of Biozyme, per the package instructions. i will repeat the biozyme dose, and redose with ammonia accordingly. I will post daily results with pictures. The only thing in the tank will be water. No Substrate, no plants, no rocks.
These are my tap water parameters, run in duplicate.
pH: 8.8
Ammonia: 1ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 5ppm
