Aquarium Advice Addict
Ok, so need a bit of advice. This is my first fish-less cycle. I'v done all the homework etc. but today I came home and tested. My ph was tanking around 6.4. From 6.8 last night. I'v read to do a big water change to raise ph if this happens. I did a 90% water change to remove tannins and bring up the ph. Tank is at 79 degrees. Cycle started 11-25. Tank is planted. Here are the lvl's 1hr after water change.
I'm dosing ammonia to 4ppm daily because it
Is processing in 24h but no2 and no3 are steady for about a week now. Even after a 90% water change. Following no3 test to the letter.
Just wondering if this is normal and I'm just being impatient or am I missing something?
Oh, I also seeded with filter medium from one of my other tanks.
Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.
