Hi, my fishless cycle log is here somewhere but I havent updated it for a couple of days. In short, Im on day 17, ammonia is dropping to 0 every 24 hrs, nitrite is rising nicely and there is some nitrate present now too.
Basically does that sound right? I think it probably is. Im now waiting for a nitrite spike to drop to 0.
But then what of all the nitrate? I will have to do a large water change when the time comes at the end but then once I have my crabs, what happens to the nitrate that will be present under normal circumstances.
Bit early to be worrying perhaps. Im very happy to be seeing things happen though.
