Here we go again with this cycling lark...
I thought I’d be able to do this “all by myself” but clearly not... my granddaughter has a micro tank (about 8ltrs) with pink gravel and a pink plastic plant ?.
I’ve been adding filter start since 23rd March and Ammonia to get to 1ppm but it won’t clear, the ammonia only reduces to 0.25ppm and the nitrites won’t go below 1ppm. We are changing 59% of the water weekly and adding tap safe and filter start at each change.
Apart from the fact the tank is so small it’s practically useless and the decor is not of my choosing, why isn’t the BB clearing the ammonia/nitrites.
She has been told she can have 12 neon tetras in this tank, I think she’ll be lucky to keep 3!!
