Thanks, I did add the fish after doing 2 wc to ensure nitrites where at 0. It's been more than 12 hrs. Did test Ammonia is at 0 Nitrites are at 0 Nitrates are at 3-4 too low to distinguish on test strip scale Will do another test tomorrow.

I meant for moving from fishless to fish-in.

It's been cycling since dec 10th, both nitrites and nitrates had shoot up beyond there scale. Did 3wc to bring then under there scale and monitor the cycling.

Agreed. I will watch for nitrites every 24 hours, will do 40% wc. Shoot I feel bad I ended the cycle. Apologies! I should have waited another week.

Thanks for your advice appreciate it!

Since the nitrites were always staying at 3 over last few days and nitrates were rising, so I decided to end the cycle. I will keep watch on ammonia and nitrites closely to ensure things are in controll.

This morning I decided to end my fishless cycle. Before huge wc, I did a test Ammonia 0 Nitrites 4 Nitrates were at 70 Since nitrites have been hanging in range 3-5 ppm, I decided to end the cycle. Did 90% wc then did another test Nitrites 1 ppm Nitrates less than 10 Since nitrites were at...

Also will get nitrate to 10 when I add fish

Thanks will do wc just before I am ready to get my fish.

Thanks. Time to do 90% wc. Keeping adding 1ppm ammonia until I get my fish and ensure Nitrates are less than 40ppm. Is that right ?

Am I at the end of cycle ? Ph 8.4 Ammonia is going from 4 ppm to zero in 12 hrs. Nitrites went down from 10 to 3 in 12 hrs Nitrates went up from 25 to 40 in 12 hrs I am planning to add another 4 ppm ammonia before I sleep tonight. Am I at the end of cycle ?

Thanks all for your valuable feedback.

Note today is day 8, my ammonia had dropped to zero, hence. Added 5 ppm after ammonia test

Here is my log Date Nitrate,Nitrite,Hardness,Chlorine,Alkalinity, Ph, Ammonia Day 1. 0, 0.5, 300, 0. <300, 8.4 didn't add Day 4. 0, 1, ,300, 0, <300, 8.4, > 4ppm day. 6...
