Aquarium Advice Addict
This is my fifth day of cycling my new tank. I tested my ammonia this afternoon and it seems really high. On the test swatch card it is running between a 4 and 8. When I open my tank it also has a smell to it...I don't know if it is from the ammonia because it doesn't smell like ammonia, but a smell nonetheless when I open it up to test the water. Should I do a partial water change if my ammonia is that high?
Also, I found some really neat dead wood in my back yard. I have been reading threads on here about putting wood in the tank and I like that idea. I brought in some small pieces and boiled them and they are now weighted down in a tub we don't use often. When can I add them to my tank? Should I wait until the cycling process is over?
Thanks!
