Hey guys my old thread seems to have gone cold so going to start this new one!
(old link here http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/new-tank-possibly-for-cherry-red-shrimp-263215-25.html )
I have had my tanks set up for 9 weeks now and unfortunately I already had my small tank set up with my Betta in before I learned about fishless cycling
But Ive got 2 more tanks on the go both fishless cycling and I want to know how far off roughly they are from being done (Staring at an empty tank for 9 weeks is starting to get annoying) So yea here are my test results from today.
I cleaned out my tanks about 2 hours ago and I'm testing them now.. the ammo in both tanks seem really high.. could this be caused by putting too much prime in? Or will it take 24 hours+ for the ammo to go down once I've changed the water? (I pretty much changed out all the water) Help T_T
Also if in 24 hours the ammo has gone and nitrite is still at 0 does that mean my tank is finally cycled?!
Long tank:
PH: 8.0
Ammo: see photo (right vial)
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5 or less
Mango's tank:
PH: 7.5
Ammo: See photo (left vial)
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5 or less
