@WetPetMum
Nice tank
What size tank is that?

58 litres thank you

 

[WetPetMum]

Oh that reminds me… you should enter it in the tank of the month contest.

Nov is for 31 gallon and larger tanks
Dec is for 16 gal & smaller tanks
Jan is for 17 to 30 gallon tanks

I’ll be in for the December running then

Yes all fully cycled to 4ppm ammonia and running for 8 weeks on Tuesday.
Guess it’s just a wait and see game then

I wouldn't really consider ammonia at 4 PPM as being fully cycled.

Go on then… for the newbies, is a fully planted 8 week running fish tank not ready for fish? It’ll obviously continue to adjust now the little fish live here

Fish increase ammonia. I would keep a close eye and also test for nitrites and nitrates. If you have 0 on nitrites and nitrates then the tank is probably not cycling. I might even consider using some ammonia nutralizer to bring the ammonia down to around 2 PPM.

My ammonia and nitrites are 0 and have been for the past month my nitrates is now at 10ppm

LOL! Now I'm confused. Above you typed that the ammonia was at 4 PPM. 0-0-10 is fine.

I read that as 4 ppm being the amount of ammonia used for a fishless cycle?

It was cycled upto 4ppm without fish, then 2 Amano went in, then two weeks later two more.. now I have 12 little fish to watch over

Helped with a trash pickup this morning as a fundraiser for the basketball team I’m on. We cleaned up 47 miles of road, which equals $4,700 for the team!

(Also crazy sore, lol)
