Hey all,
My 55g tank finally cycled, I put 50lbs of LR in the tank, but the LR was delayed in shipping and had huge die off, I then put another 15lbs of much better condition LR, which then the tank cycles within about a week..
I have 0 Ammonia, but my Nitrates are at 160ppm which is the highest the liquid test kit goes..
This is after changing out about 20 gallons of water.
I would have thought changing 20 gallons of water would have brought the nitrates down alot more...
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks,
