Aquarium Advice Freak
Alright, I have made a mistake by taking "Big Al's" advice on cycling my 60Gal with 6 Danios in. After trying for 4 weeks, I am starting to think that these Danios will never make enough of a Bio-Load on the size of Tank, and I have decided to switch to a Fishless after reading so many posts on them. I have taken my 6 Danios and transfered them to my established 10 Gal. I am keeping an eye on the levels, and doing daily 40% pwc (on my 10gal) so I do get a spike in Ammonia/Nitrites. So, having said that the Danios are safe.
Now, on with my 60 Gal.
Prior to adding Ammonia, my levels when I took out the fish were:
Ammonia: 0.25
Nitrites: 0.25
Nitrates: 5
PH: 7.2 (Stable)
I have purchased some Goldex Ammonia (I have read multiple ppl from other forums recommending this brand). From reading posts on here, I should be bringing my Ammonia levels to +- 2.5 ? How much Ammonia should I be putting in?
I started putting in Ammonia 48 Hrs ago. Started with 2 Cap full (small caps about 3ml ea), and my Ammonia only went to 1.
I have since added 2 more cap fulls, and my Ammonia still won't go over 1.
I am running a Eheim Canister 80Gal filter. Any input or help would be appreciated.
