Alright so I have a few questions, I've read just about every thread that has been created and it seems that the overall answer to ... Is my take really cycling already, seems to be... it depends on various circumstances.
25g bow front semi-planted tank, started the process on 11/05/11, the schedule of tests are below.
So here's my testing thus far...
Test date PH Ammo Trites Trates Temp Action
11/05/11 7.6 4ppm 2ppm 5ppm 75 (Start dosed 4ppm)
11/07/11 2ppm 80 Dosed 2ppm ammo
11/09/11 7.6 4ppm 5ppm+ 5ppm 80
11/12/11 7.6 1.5ppm 5ppm+ 5ppm 80 Dosed 3ppm ammo
11/12/11 Added 6 chain swords, anubias, java and riccia covered rocks and taiwan moss to driftwood.
11/13/11 1.5ppm 82 Dosed 3ppm ammo
11/14/11 0ppm 82 Dosed 4ppm ammo
11/14/11 7.6 4ppm 5ppm+ 5ppm 80
11/15/11 .25ppm 5ppm+ 10ppm 80 Dosed 4ppm ammo
11/15/11 4ppm (checked later that night)
11/16/11 .25ppm
So here's where I am currently, what do I do now, do I keep bringing it back to 4ppm or what's the next step. I'm kind of lost as I haven't seen the huge jumps in Trites or Trates.
Any advice or direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
