Aquarium Advice Freak
OK~
So the tank is up and running and thought I'd try this fishless cycle since I didn't want to subject any of my fish to the "cycle of death".
The tank is 120gal and I added about 3/4C ammonia and the reading is at 6ppm (is this too high) If so, I will do a water change to bring the ammonia level down a bit. Whats next?
Do I wait for Nitrites to show?
I couldn't run these filters in the basement pond as they are gravity fed and there was not enough height difference to get the filters going.
I think with one of the filters I can add a few bioballs to the chamber (looks like there's room)
I have yet to add plants ( I want real ) but I know the koi will destroy them, so artificial will have to do.
What else am I missing?
You guy's have been SO supportive~ Thanks you!!!!! Thanks you!!!!!!!
As soon as the canopy is made, I'll post pictures.
Since filling it last night (45min) I have bubbles on the tank and they arn't the prettiest to take a pic of and show.
So~ if anyone has info on the Fishless Cycle, please don't hesitate to expand. I appreciate it!!
Happy Holidays
