Fishless cycling

[Tyler777]

Well I added the Tetra safe start n these are the results.

PH ........................ 7.6 ppm
Ammonia ..............1.0 ppm
Nitrites ................. 2.0 ppm
Nitrates ................ 40 ppm

Honestly I'm gettingvtired of waiting

Ammonia is not low enough yet, I'm afraid The danger with adding ammonia too soon is that you'll end up with so much nitrite it stalls the cycle.


When I did a fishless cycle, it took 7 weeks to complete, though I did not use a bacterial starter............
