Hey,
So have a heavily planted 150l tank, had plants for a week then 4 danios for 3 weeks now. Used API Quick start and washed one of the large filter sponge from one of my other small tanks. Dosing Scheme Flourish for the plants as the bottle describes.
So far the Ammonia has climbed to 0.5, Nirite always 0 and Nirate varies between 0 and 5.
Done a few 20% water changes every 2-4 of days and the plants are massively growing and shedding there original leave.
It has never taken this long in the past for the ammonia level to decrease and the Nirtie to rise but in the passed Ammonia has climbed up to over 1 normally. This is my 5th cycle but have no idea why it is not cycling.
Any Ideas?
