Hello again,
The 20 gallon tank last night had a reading of ammo of .50 almost to 1.0ppm. I did a PWC and the ammo is down to 0ppm again, nitrite and nitrate are 0ppm, the PH remember before the PWC was like 5-6ppm, well after the PWC its now 6.8-7.0. All fish seems ok and doing well still. I guess the tank is still in cycle? It must of crashed to get that bad PH reading somehow?
The 55 gallon tank I got a reading of ammo of about 2-3ppm, I dosed it to 4ppm again, nitrite was 0ppm still and PH of 7.6. I started this cycle on 5/31. I have noticed that the water level is dropping and I have filled it back to the top and added prime. I hope that doesn't mess this up? It was down about a 1/2 inch. So it wasn't much. I think its down again so i will be adding water to it this evening and more prime. I will also be stopping by the store to pickup the CC today, its supposed to be in.
I am reading horror story's on the forum of people doing the fishless cycle and are now into months and it still not working, having bad thoughts that this wont work
