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 !? 😊
Today after just a small top off and prime here’s today’s parameters.

Ok my friend, after 50 % water change yesterday I checked parameters just now.
Nitrates - 5.0 ppm
Nitrite - looks like .25 ppm
Ammonia - 0 ppm to maby 0.25
Ph - went up as suspected added small amount of baking soda.
Now what to do today. !?
Just now did 50 % water change added prime and only added 1tsp and a 1/3 of baking soda like last time, and added two caps of Fritz 700 turbo.. I hope it’s ok adding the fritz if it will be effective on my BB or is it necessary right now !?
After a 50% water change yesterday and adding small dose of fritz 700 turbo and a little prime, here’s my parameters today.
Nitrates - 0.25
Nitrites - .25 ppm
Ammonia - 0.25 ppm
Ph - maby 6.8 ppm
Ok, yesterday I did a 50% water change added prime a fist time adding small dose of fritz 700 turbo. Bye the way I added that water clarifier only 1/3 Thé does that you mentioned and my water is unreal clear 😍
Here is my parameter today going forward getting this tank cycled.
Nitrate - 5.0...
