I've come to accept that my fishless cycle has stopped and I need some serious help. I have been cycling since january already and I cannot get my nitrites to decrease. I have been doing everything just like the guide said.Right now my ammonia is at 0.5 and nitrites between 2-5. The readings...

bump any thoughts

hey guys Ive had no improvement with this stupid cycle since I last posted my ammonia goes from 0 to 1 once in a while, my nitrite hovers around 0.5-5 although its hard to tell with the colours I am adding a teaspoon of ammonia on the days that its at 0, the heat is at 80 and my filtration is...

I have been running my Eheim 2213 filter for about 2 months now and it just started making nose. Before it used to be almost silent but now its making a sort of crackling or grinding noise. Anyone have the same problem with their filter? Do you know how to fix it?

thanks for the responses, i am using liquid test kits, just tested the water again today, my ammonia has dropped to about 0.5, the nitrite is a little hard to tell, its either dropped to 0.5 or is very high, looks more like 0.5 though and my nitrate is about 5 so am i doing ok?

so its been 3 days since i added too much ammonia i just did my tests and ammonia is still at 2-3 and nitrites at about 4 i really dont know what to do, should change some water to lower ammonia or just let it go down by itself please help, i am getting sick of waiting

everything was going fine until my nitrite spiked, the problem is that it hasnt gone down for about two weeks i have been adding a teaspoon of ammonia every day and my ammonia reading has been 0 yesterday i added a little too much ammonia and it went up to about 2-3 my nitrite is till about 3-4...

i just started up a used aquaclear 50 heater i got, its making a clicking or ticking sound while its operating anyone know whats causing it and how to stop it?

I just bought some pool filter sand for my new aquarium today, the problem is that it looks nice and white when its dry but when i rinsed it it turned gray is it going to look like its original colour when I fill the tank with water or will it stay like this? I want it to look nice and white...
