Okay so I'm still in the process of fish in cycling, and I'm at a point I need help. I just did a 60% exchange because the ammonia was around 4ppm, nitrite around 2ppm, and nitrate of 5ppm.
The nitrate is a good sign because I haven't had nitrate readings yet so I'm making progress. But now I'm at the point that I have a cascade 300 hob filter and I'm currently using the replaceable filters. It looks like it needs replaced but I don't want to loose my progress of my nitrate bacteria. Will this bring me back down to zero or is there bacteria in the black filter rather than this one?
Then I see people talking about using their own media, can I use these current ones to do it someway? And if so how?
