Hi guys,
I've been cycled a new 10g with 2 bottles of TSS and today is the 4th with happy result.
My tap water contains 1.0 ammo already.
Day 1: 24 hrs pre-conditioned water with prime, 1 bottle of TSS 3.38 oz, aquaclear 20 filter, 50 w heater at 79 F. Ammonia source is my betta fish with twice meals per day, 4-5 pellets each time.
Ammo: 1.0
Nitrate: 0
Nitrite: 0
PH: 7.8
Day 2:
Ammo: 1.0 to 1.5
Nitrate: 0
Nitrite: 0
PH: 8.0
Day 3:
Ammo: 0.5 to 1.0
Nitrate: 20 to 40
Nitrite: 0
PH: 7.8
At this point, i did 25% wc and 30% gravel vaccum to reduce Nitrate lvl down. Put 30 ml of TSS to cover the lost of BB in the gravel.
Day 4: (today)
Ammo: 0 to 0.25
Nitrate: 80 Omg!
Nitrate: 0
PH: 7.8
Atm, i really don't know if i should do another wc and dose TSS again. It seems like my BB are still growing and i don't want to risk loosing them. Therefore, any suggestion could be a big help for me here. Thanks!
