Hi guys,
I have very recently started a 120ltr fishless cycle adding ammonia to start cycle! I do not have any filter media from an established aquarium so I understand its going to take longer!
Anyway the tank has been set up for nearly a week, I had problems with cloudy water so I let that all setting prior to adding ammonia! I have taken my ammonia reading to 4ppm and left it since (no change) however this has only been one day since I added and if I'm correct it can take a few days to go down yet! I have a 600 lph hang on filter and a fluval 400 internal filter also! So I think this is more than adequate for my tank!
However I am getting soapy bubbles on the surface of the water and it may be nothing but I wasted to check with people who would know! Is this normal or do you think I may have somehow got soap or a soapy substance in my aquarium! I haven't used any soap to my knowledge and my ammonia doesn't contain anything it shouldn't!
Cheers
Josh
