Somewhat cycling withblack phantom tetras?

[Hholly]

Yep!

 

[CharlieKlein]

I'll try that! So levels to day are ammo-close to 0 but not yet. Nitrite. 0 nitrate 10. Yay! Probs adding fish saturday

 

[Hholly]

Yay! You should keep dosing a bit of ammonia so the BB don't starve.

 

[CharlieKlein]

Already dosed a bit of ammo right after untested!

 

[CharlieKlein]

No idea how this happened...?

 

[Hholly]

No idea how this happened...?

When was this. How long after you dosed ammonia? How much ammonia? How's the pH?

 

[CharlieKlein]

Ph is 6.8. 25 hrs after. 2 ppm

 

[Hholly]

How many weeks in are you!

 

[CharlieKlein]

Been up spence dec. 27. So 7 or so weeks

 

[CharlieKlein]

So what is going on and what do I do? Get hardy fish to cycle it?

 

[CharlieKlein]

Someone help! I have no idea what to do! I want fish so bad and I want to make a perfect enviorntnt for them, but it doesn't seem like the way im going about it is working. I've been really patient but it doesn't seem like its working

 

[Hholly]

I think you could finish it with fish in. As long as you're prepared to do lots of water changes. And with Prime to help keep toxins safe.

 

[CharlieKlein]

I think that's what I want to do. Can I get them today as long as lbls are under .25? Or Mabye Monday?

 

[Hholly]

Yeah, did you get some Prime? Throw some Prime in there before you add fish.

 

[CharlieKlein]

Nope. I'm ordering off amazon tho!

 

[Hholly]

If you can, buy a small bottle of it when you get the fish. But if you can't afford it just throw some extra Stress Coat in the tank.

 

[CharlieKlein]

I also have stress Zyme... God?

 

[Hholly]

Does it say anything about detoxifying anything?

 

[CharlieKlein]

It says contains live bacteria, reduces maintinance, all natural, and adds bb
Says use weekly which I haven't been doing. I'm guessing it wouldn't hurt to add right? Could I add 1 ml per gallon instead of .5?

 

[CharlieKlein]
