New fish, I wanted to show off!!!

[jwh0818]

It's a very nice tank! Need to get some wood to wrap the stand and build the doors and that's all! Oh and I need to add fluffy back! It's like an ocean to his size right now!

He/she will definitely be excited to be back home, and you're right, a huge home at that.

 

[jwh0818]

I think I might have good news after testing the tank again. Just waiting for the 5 minute mark

 

[jwh0818]

Never mind. Ammo is 0, nitrites is .25 and nitrates is 4 ppm

 

[IShallNtEatFish]

Ugh almost

 

[Tx Oscar Lover]

Are you just waiting on that nitrate spike? & I thought you got banned or something lol.

 

[jwh0818]

It was an accident! I don't think nitrates are gonna spike, I'm not dosing ammonia!

 

[Tx Oscar Lover]

What all are you waiting for on the cycle, for it to be finished?

& good. Being banned from something you like isn't fun. Lol.

 

[jwh0818]

Yeah I'm wanting it to filly cycle, fluffy almost died from the toxins in the cycle even with daily 50% wcs and dosing prime every 12 hours to keep them non toxic

 

[jwh0818]

Okay so I believe the tank has cycled.
Ammo is 0ppm
Nitrites are 0ppm
Nitrates are 40ppm.

Now a question. Can I add fluffy back without doing a water change? I don't wanna disturb the cycle. I also need a new heater so should I wait until Friday to add him and just dose .50 ammo and see what that does?

 

[Brookster123]

I'd wait man, he's good for a couple more days in the 20.. I like the idea of testing the bb with the ammo dose!

 

[jwh0818]

Yeah I'm scared to test it but I need to do it to make sure it stays cycled when adding this massive biology back

Good luck been following along. I'm not gonna lie fluffy has got me contemplating a new tank so I can get an oscar but I already added 4 tanks in the last 6 months I'm running out of room (and $) in my apartment.

Thanks! Yeah I already want another one too!

I'd go ahead & wait as well. I want a lake full of oscars! That'd be so beast.

Dud that would be awesome! A big 24 ft pool just for oscars! Imagine the needed filtration!?!?!?

 

[jwh0818]

So some quick news. Dosed ammo to .50ppm today and it's gone. Not a single trace of it

Dang! That pretty much means it's cycled, that's what I would think at least!

 

[Brookster123]

[IShallNtEatFish]
