Cycling Problems Due To Powercut !

[10walkham]

Hi

Ive been away for two weeks on holiday and returned yesterday to be told that my electric tripped for 4 days so my filter stopped for that period.

I tested the water these are my readings.

Ammonia : 0.4mg/l
Nitrite: 0.1mg/l
Nitrate: zero

My tank was cycled nicely before but now im left with this and worried for the fish

Heres my setup:

Jewel 96ltrs

5 Neon Tetras
1 Sailfin Pleco
2 Clown loaches


Can anyone help with suggestions pls ?

thanks

Do a water change and increase aeration thats about it.
You could add some beneifical bacteria by nutrafin called cycle but I don't rate it that much.
You do know them clown loaches need a bigger tank, not sure on the plec if that does too.

thanks fo the info

The cowns at the mo are about 2" long but i will be upgrading tank size to a much bigger tank in next couple of months.

So you think the fish will be ok in those readings ?

As long as the temp didnt drop too much and the filter media was in the water it shouldnt be too bad. You wont have lost all the bacteria in your filter.

Just do as wilder suggested really, they should be fine, but I would monitor the ammonia, nitrite and Nitrate carefully over the next week or so.
