We have 2 tanks cycling. I want to make sure my thought prices is right.
First tank
28 Gallons
Fish In Cycle (6 Neon tetras)
Today's measurements:
Ammonia .25
Nitrates 10
Nitrites 0
We have never had a reading above 0 for nitrites on this tank.
We have been cycling for about 3 1/2 weeks and added seeded media about a week ago.
I figure for this one water change every other day wait for ammonia to read 0 for 48'ish hours and nitrites to stay below 10. Is that right ?
In this tank I'm wary of a nitrite spike to come should I be?
Second tank
20 Gallons
Fish Free Cycle
Today's measurements:
Ammonia 1-2
Nitrates 10
Nitrites .25
Dose ammonia back up to 2/3 or wait till it falls below 1.
No water change at the moment change if nitrates go higher
So excited to be seeing changes!
