yea, I have no idea what kind of filter is it, it came with the wall aquarium, will pull it out and look for the name later. I recently was in fact moving it around, for reason that escapes me rite now ;) Thanks for your help!

Hi, more and more questions... I have recently cycled my tank and now have whole five inhabitants :) Noticed this morning that my usually somewhat noisy filter started producing spurts of air bubbles instead of the "regular" constant stream. I was going to add the air pump eventually, but now...

Cool, thanks alot for your attention to this! My patience (always thought I had enough) IS running thin :rolleyes:

what should I do now? I am monitoring the levels daily and have pretty much the same picture: In 24hrs - ammonia drops (after I add it to keep it at 4ppm) to about .5ppm nitrites are around 1ppm nitrates seems to be increasing towards 40ppm The problem is that water keeps evaporating and I...

Update Came back from a small trip. My daughter was taking care of the measuring and adding ammonia. Good girl :D Current levels: Ammonia~ .50 ppm (I am keeping it at 3-4ppm by adding pure ammonia) in 24hrs it drops to about 1ppm Nitrite ~ 1-2 ppm Nitrate ~ 30 ppm Thanks!

Thanks a lot Edgar, I just did about 25-30% partial water change about 2 weeks ago and I think that what caused the cycle to actually start reducing the ammonia. I will try per your suggestion and keep you posted if you don't mind :D Mike

Thanks a lot for the quick reply ejaramillo01! 1- I am using the API kit for both ammonia and nitrites testing 2 - After I just add ammonia the reading goes up just tot he next level, and back to the same or lower the next morning (never tested within 24 hrs between mornings - only at night) 3...

Any help? Would sure be appreciated. It's either getting worst or getting better but not knowing what is going on is not helping. I have a very small tank, unfortunately & I seem to be unable to control the cycle. Since my last update I started adding the fish food to my tank daily but the...

Still have no idea what I am doing :rolleyes: Any suggestions, please....

Ok, I did the PWC about 25% with tap water, now measuring the Ammonia it is around 4ppm but the Nitrites are still off the chart. I really prefer not to start all process all over again. So what should I do now it says seeding should speed up the process "Seeding the tank can significantly...

Ah, ok - thanks for the headsup! tap water it is then.

Thanks a lot! Oh well just a little more patience I guess :cool: I am assuming the water change of 25% and RO not from tap - rite? Thanks again,

I am pretty much in the same or similar situation. I started the fishless - ammonia primes cycle almost 4 weeks ago. I suspect i've added too much ammonia to begin with, so my levels where off the chart for all 3-3.... weeks, only now I see the levels have dropped to maybe 4.0 ppm. I also...

Never had a fish or aquarium before, now my daughter "won" a goldfish and concequently broke a little fishbowl we had for it. Bought a wall mounted 8 gallon tank & have no clue where to begin :rolleyes:
