Dosed 5ppm, now ammonia and nitrites are both at 0ppm in 24 hours. Just need to wait for the nitrite to get down to 0ppm at the 12 hour point. I wonder how long that will take...
I think it was about 7 hours - things look like they are back to normal though. Ammonia never rose to detectable levels and apart from the blip on day 39, nitrites are 0 every 24 hours. Still 2ppm every 12 hours though.
A short power cut should hardly affect your cycle at all Frida. As long as you are working closely with WD I hesitate to interfere. You are already in excellent hands there.
Yes, 7 hours should hardly affect anything, no problem. I have no idea what the white things might be - you may have to do a bit of your own detective work there... WD
The white "flakes" have started to look more like buds, and they are moving around. I also found a larger one that looks very much like a cyclops (copepods). Should I just leave them or will I need to take some action? I'm guessing once I get fish, they'll be eaten?
