Can someone please take a look at my fishless cycle results? How low does the pH need to go before I worry about it and add something to bring it up? That would be like crushed coral, right?
10/27
pH - not tested
Ammonia - 4ppm
10/28
pH - 7.4
Ammonia - 2ppm
10/29
pH - 7.4
Ammonia - 2ppm
10/30
pH - 7.4
Ammonia - 1ppm
Nitrite - .25
Added 2mL of ammonia
10/31
pH - 7.4
Ammonia - 4ppm
Nitrite - 2.0
11/1
pH - 6.4 - 6.6
Ammonia - 4ppm
Nitrite - 2.0 to 5.0 (dark pinkish purple)
TAP (straight out)
Ammonia - a little more than 0, but less than .25
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0
pH - 7.4 (regular), 7.6 (high range)
TAP (after 24 hours - I saw someone mentioning testing this way in another thread and thought it may help)
