mL needed for ammonia ppm

[Fresh2o]

HBS - off topic: I occasionally worked the graveyard shift and it was tough. I worked days now but pretty much on call 24/7. 3 hours of sleep last night

Rodeo1 - yeah, the time it takes to convert the ammonia to zero is the very important at this point. For 10-11 days in, it is going very well. At the end of my fishless cycle it was processing 4 ppm ammonia in 24 hours; ironically, I currently have 2 red cherry shrimp in that 20 g tank.

Hope your readings were good tonight

 

[Rodeo one]

Oh hi! They were ph 8.2 , ammonia & nitrites 0, nitrates 20. Dosed up to 2 on the ammonia . Fingers crossed for tomorrow . Got some new plants in, too. Waiting for 2 more Lotus & then done with that.
Cuz ' I have skills'!

I caught you a delicious bass.

 

[Hbbambislayer]

Nice couple

 

[Rodeo one]

Aaaaah, nerds in love.

 

[Rodeo one]

Purritty sure those nitrites aren t at 0 after 24 hrs.....WC???

 

[Hbbambislayer]

It looks more like 2ppm. Id leave it alone tonight again 2ppm ammo may have been a bit much for it still

 

[Rodeo one]

K thanks.

 

[Hbbambislayer]

It honestly looks like your about a week away

 

[Hbbambislayer]

On a funny note at least one more person on here like Napolean Dynamite

 

[Rodeo one]

Who?

A week huh? So, I let the nitrites get back to 0 on their own & then dose the ammonia to 2?

 

[Hbbambislayer]

The person fresh2o who replied on here. Hopefully they'll drop on their own and not need another water change and is say go back to 1ppm on ammo again. Yes a week unless your nitrite<nitrate bb really kicks it in gear by Wednesday night

 

[Rodeo one]

Geez, thought was you ! I m not at my sharpest that early.

 

[Hbbambislayer]

I was going thru my dvr... benchwarmers and blades of glory

 

[Fresh2o]

Patience is a part of the process; at least you are not putting fish through the nitrogenous highs and lows. Eager to see your parameters tonight.

Uh, I just re-read that last line and had to laugh. I can't say I've used that line anywhere.

 

[Rodeo one]

LMAO! Too funny. Yeah, I m eager to see them, too. Will be home in an hr or so.

Tonight s #s- ph 8.4
nitrite & ammonia 0

Did a 75% WC last night, was worried about the snails . So, dose ammonia to 1ppm?

HBS, loved Blades of Glory. Haven t seen Benchwarmers .
