It's been about 18 days and still have 0 nitrates, 0 nitrates. Running about 4ppm ammonia. Ph about 8.0 all using api master kit.
The only thing I can think of is maybe the rocks I washed with bleach solution I didn't properly rinse and enough and chlorine got in to the tank to prevent the bacteria growth.
I asked my local petsmart where I bought the tank if I could have some substrate for seed material but she said they had just recovered from some fish disease so she didn't want to give it out. So no seed material.
Maybe I could do a 50 percent water change and use my prime to dechlorinate? That wouldn't hurt the cycling? Eventually will be adding African mbuna.
Thanks!
