Hi Jennie! I only saw your stocking thread & looks like you did get some help. If you need help with cycling, please post a question & we will be happy to help you! Its a bit hard to help you on another persons thread because we need information about your tanks, your numbers & your issues- everyones situation is a bit different.

 

[Jennie L]

[awilson133]

. now I got dose it again. how much jlk?

 

[jlk]

Bare with me- I'm on my cell & it's pain on the butt to try to go back pgs! Ok- You did wcs & your numbers are zero (or close to it). You tried 2 & your nitrites spiked high, correct? Then go back to 1 for tonight & you can work your way back up gradually. Let see how things look tomorrow!

 

[awilson133]

yeah it did. I dose it last night to 2.0 and both my ammo and nitrites were 0 and my nitrates were 80 then I did a 50% wc filled it then a 75% so ill start with 1 ppm now?

 

[jlk]

Ok! I missed that part! Go ahead & dose to 2 again if your amm & nitrite zeroed today before the wc. I thought you meant they were zero after the wc!

 

[awilson133]

oh lol no it was before. but I did get my nitrates to 5.0

 

[awilson133]

ugh tough day...
ammo 0
nitrites 0
ph 7.8
nitrates 40
what to do now

 

[awilson133]

I dosed my ammonia to 2.0ppm

 

[jlk]

Sounds good! If you get zeroes again today, up the dose to 3ppm.

 

[awilson133]

okay

 

[awilson133]

last I dosed my ammonia up to 3ppm.

ammo 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 50 60ish
ph 7.6

 

[jlk]

The zeroes are from 3ppm amm? Dose 3 for one more day & then up it to 4.

 

[awilson133]

okay!! sounds good!! do you think im close to being cycled?
