Hello,
I hope some of you have done fish less cycling before and therefore can help me here. I started with ammonia in my biorb 8g tank, 14 days back with "janitorial ammonia" from ace hardware (10%). I hit 3ppm on my first add.
However since then I have added several doses of stresszyme and another add of ammonia (because the ammonia alert thing looked pretty light and I made a mistake without double checking with api kit). Now my ammonia is at 8ppm, ph 7.8 but no nitrite yet.
I do not know if this is normal for a fish less cycle to take this long ? Two days back I downed the Ph to 7.4, thinking may be the ph is not helping. Does anyone think I need to wait or something is wrong in my setup ?
TIA
