Aquarium Advice Regular
I have had my tank cycling over 3 weeks now. The shrimp is pretty much completely gone.. but there are still some pieces floating around { was a rather large shrimp }..
My ammoonia is very high, off the color chart. My trites are between 0.1 and 0.15 and my trates are 10-15.
Now i didnt have my ammo kit at the time =X. But figuring by my readings and what ive read and all. I should already went through my ammo. spike as well as my trite spike { which i have tested for and saw. } From what i have read it takes a ammo. spike to start the nitrites and then a nitrite spilke to start nitrates. I could be quit wrong on that =)
Should i let my shimp completely dissolve and see my ammo. and trites to 0 to assume my cycle is complete? Water change and leave it in? Take it out all together? ... i will not have any type of ammonia source in the tank if i take out the shrimp. Id have to buy some type of food to feed the tank and wait till i get my LR and fish and all.
Also if I should take out the shrimp and or water change and all. what food is best to feed a tank like this as a ammo. source?
thanks
