Aquarium Advice Addict
I have a 5g hex tank that was housing Balthazar the betta, but I acquired a 5g long tank that I moved him to to give him more horizontal swimming room....the 5g hex tank was fully cycled. It has been empty now for five days except for live plants, gravel, and snails with biowheel filter still running. I have been adding a small amount of flake food to the tank daily to keep it cycled. I tested the water this morning and found the ammonia to be just between 0-.25. It hasn't started its cycle over yet has it? Nitrites are 0. I was just under the impression that to keep a tank cycled all you had to do was add a small amount of flake food to the tank daily. I last added some last night around 6pm. Thanks in advance for replies!
