HPballer76 said:the cycle is getting close! dosed to 4ppm ammonia after 24 hours ammonia is 0 nitrites are 5 ppm and nitrates are 40 ppm.
now do i dose back up to 4 ppm ammonia and wait till ammonia and nitrites are gone in 24 hours or do i just wait for the nitrites to get to zero do a big water change and add my first fish? someone please comment not sure what i should do now.
HPballer76 said:well since i have to do some traveling soon i decided i would add a couple chromis to make sure the tank stayed cycled until i decide on final stocking. i also put in 5 red leg hermits and 3 astraea snails. do you guys think that will be ok as far as the hermits and snails go? i don't want them to starve and can move them to my 72 if there won't be enough food in the 24.
