Hello my friend, just wanted to thank you so very much for your time and patience with me getting my 55g Rainbow tank finally cycled 100%! after 1 year of losing fish.. now I only check my water when I want to because I know it stays perfect just like today lol.. I do a 25% water change every...

* watching my ph. Would this be ok !?

I’m just not used to seeing my parameters look this good for this amount of time. I think you help me finally get my tank cycled 😊 so I’m guess I should get in a routine of doing a 25% water change every 7 days and watchi

After 4-5 days of doing know water changes here’s my parameters today. Nitrates - 5.0 ppm Nitrite - 0 ppm Ammonia - maby 0 ppm but I’m not 100 % sure !? Ph - holding Now what to do please !?

Today after not doing nothing but topping off for 3-4 days, here’s my parameters today. Nitrate - 5.0 ppm Nitrite - 0 ppm Ammonia - 0 ppm Ph - around 7 Now I think i do nothing 😊

And another question? When a tank is fully cycled does the ph stay where you want it, or do we all have to use a buffer like I mentioned about to keep it ok !?

After 0 water change yesterday here is my parameters today. Nitrate - 5.0 ppm Nitrite - 0 ppm Ammonia - I think it’s 0 ppm ‘ but you tell me Ph - holding Now what to do moving forward to finally get this 55g cycled !? 😊

Yeah they both done that before you started guiding me through this process, but’ idk Can you suggest trying it again to see how it reacts now !?

Should I buy this or just stay with the baking soda ass needed !?

Now what to do moving forward to get this tank cycled !?

Here’s my ammonia test out of my faucet. Looks like 0 ppm

No I only use faucet water. Now I will test my faucet water to see what the ammonia reads.

Today after just a small top off and prime here’s today’s parameters. Nitrates - 5.0 ppm Nitrite - 0 ppm Ammonia - between 0 ppm & .25 ppm Ph - up What to do today please 😊

Yes, I keep my glass off

Will it be ok to top off now with prime now !?
