Day 8. 12, 10, 300, 0, 300, 8.4, 5 ppm
I don't plan to do pwc, i will keep checking for ammonia and nitrites. Add ammonia and do pwc only if nitrites drop to 0,
Am I on right track
I have been adding topfin tropical flackes very little some days.
I am planning a vacation for a week, my question was what should I do before I leave to ensure my cycle does not stall or prevent bacteria starvation ???
Help please
