Hey guys, for those of you who have been replying to my posts, i would like to present reports. As you guys can remember, i have been persuing a fish in cycle and it has been going good. I have been regularly getting ammonia readings and have been regularly doing water changes (25%). Its been over a week now and have been curious about the nitrite readings. Im not getting any reading for the nitrites. So the question is: How long will it take before the ammonia drops to zero and the nitrites go up? I guess im still stuck in stage 1 as the bacterias responsible to the break down the ammonia arent there as yet. Any tips that can help speed up the process. Now i know i have the option of adding matured media, but i think every tank has its own unique culture and i dont want a mix and match.
Also, my glass has apparently gotten dirty from the inside. I first thought it was dirty water *which was kind of surprising as ive been preforming water changes*. Then i looked through another side of the aqaurium and saw the water a bit cleaner and that is what got me to consider that the glass might have gotten dirty from the inside. I was thinking that maybe getting those magnetic cleaners to clean it. Well, do provide input as this is my first aquarium and i dont want to mess it up.
