15 gallon column
Fish less - Cycle Day 28 (no seeded media)
PH 7.4 (dbl chked w/ High Range & regular pH tests)
Ammonia 4.0ppm
NitrIte 5.0ppm+
nitrAte 10ppm
TEMP 84 F
HOB (Aqueon kit) w/ bio-sponge (non-seeded)
8" bubble wand
Not planted
API FW Master Test
I don't want to miss any steps, but I think I'm doing good now. At what point w/ the NitrAtes or NitrItes do I need to do a PWC? I have done 2 PWC b/c I have a minor algae bloom at the moment but had a bad 1 before I started my fish less cycle. I think the residual algae is my problem now not any other environmental factors.
