    Me again - Nitrite 1.6

    re: me again The tank is two weeks or so into the cycle. It is 10 gal. How low should I try to keep the nitrites. Will the fish be o.k. as long as I keep it below 1.6? I did a 20% water change last night and that lowered it a little. I'm wondering if I should do a 50%. I hate to slow things...

    new 10 gallon tank

    Also, I have a whisper power filter. i'm not sure if the filter will make a difference on when the water is ready for fish. I know it has something to do with the levels of amonia and that it needs to have a certain amount of algae. I'm just not sure if the size of the tank and the type of...

    new 10 gallon tank

    8O Hi. I decided to try out a fish aquarium. I'm starting small. A 10 gal tank. I made a mistake right off the bat. I stocked my tank the day after I set it up and was told, all my fish are going to die because I was supposed to wait for some kind of cycle to happen for my tank to be ready for...
