YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I've got Nitrites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMm 0.50, Nitrites wud say just under 0.25ppm but definately not bright blue solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still waiting for nitrate test to finish
still the same as above today :(
took 18 days to drop the ammo to almost 0ppm first time and is now on day 13 so possible it could be taking the same length of time again, i wud have thought this shud get faster :S
I just learned about cycling but I already have fish. What now?!
