Aquarium Advice Newbie
Set up my new tank 11th jan. Is a 35 litre biube (yip i know not popular & already thinking of upgrading!)
Anyway.. decided not to add LR or CUC to just get 2 small fish when tank has cycled.
Is now wk 7 ammonia spiked at 8ppm 2 wks ago after i added raw shrimp to kick start cycle (removed them when hit 8 overnight!). Amm now down to 4 (since 24/2) but still no sign of nitrite (or nitrate)
Am i being impatient or have i gone wrong somewhere??!
To get amm down i did 25% water change and replaced filter.
Ive also added 2 doses of instant aquarium on 15/2 and 1/3.
Any advice would be welcome!
Thanks!
