    Almost 2 months and no cycle???

    You are correct it says it on the bottle but I'm not very well versed in water chemistry and biology and all of that lol I still have ton's to learn I will definitely report back in a few days and let you know if there is any changes in the tank I mean at the very least it can't hurt it so...

    Almost 2 months and no cycle???

    I got a small bottle of seachem flourish. I like the sea chem products so I figured it's what I already use for everything else ill just stick with them. I haven't put it in the tank as of yet. I'm gonna do a water change and a water test and monitor the aragonite for a day or two and see if...

    Almost 2 months and no cycle???

    So I went to the pet store to try and get some dolomite and they did not sell it but they did sell aragonite which after a lot of reading seems to do almost the exact same thing. It says it replenishes Mg,Ca, and Sr and will raise my ph and kh in the water. I will order some dolomite as well but...

    Almost 2 months and no cycle???

    I do appreciate your help and I am sorry if it came off as rude. It was a legitimate question. I am no fish expert by any means so I was trying to use the most basic rationale in my head I could think of. AMN becomes nitrites which becomes nitrates so more AMN means there should be plenty for...

    Almost 2 months and no cycle???

    I have 3 java ferns in my tank at the moment but to be honest they don't seem to be doing all that great. they are alive and they are producing little sprouts/buds on there leaves but alot of the leaves look dead/dying they are dark borwn with very little green on them. So I would not be opposed...

    Almost 2 months and no cycle???

    I know it's a lot but I do keep the bioload in check with very very frequent water changes at the moment as well as seachem prime during water changes or if needed in a emergency. If anything the higher bioload should in a sense help the cycle should it not? more bioload equals more AMN so there...

    Almost 2 months and no cycle???

    I have battled fluctuating ph since the beginning (this wasn't a issue with my betta tank cause again I used store bought spring water only) to fix the ph I periodically add api ph up and that's the reasoning behind the crushed coral as well. my gh and kh are incredibly low coming out of the tap...

    Almost 2 months and no cycle???

    I didn't use Safestart on this tank I used Seachem Stability, and Imagitarium which is a Petco brand of BB. I did use TSS on my betta tank awhile back. I do every other day water changes because I have to with the AMN levels as well as to replenish GH and KH. Melafix and Pimafix in my opinion...

    Almost 2 months and no cycle???

    I have a 30 gallon tank stocked with 14 zebra danios. It's been going as a fish in cycle for just shy of two months and it's gotten no where. I haven't seen nitrites or nitrates during this time. I've been doing every other day 30-50% water changes to combat the AMN which gets as high as 1ppm...
