    Cycling with fish in due to some poor advice.

    Also to the statement above I’m not worried about free or costly. I don’t like that I made the mistake of stocking the tank to early. I just want the fish to be as ok as possible while I try and fix my mistakes.

    Haven’t got a chance to check it today but I’m sure it’s creeping towards a 1ppm as we speak. Going to test and do a water change after work more than likely

    With my levels and stock amount I’ll be adding prime daily with the water changes anyway. So hopefully it doesn’t slow it to much

    Lol no worries. I’m here for all the info I can get. It’s my understanding that ammonium is still a good source for nitrifying bacteria. I was dosing in order to make it safer for the fish. I have no idea if it slows the cycle though.

    No tap water to clean it. I rinsed it in tank water put it back. Continued getting a larger spike after a water change. So I got rid of the filter pad all together. Then replaced all media with sponges and biomax.

    Thanks guys I’ll do the water changes & only use prime when I add the new water. On the bottle it says to add for the volume of the tank when adding directly to it. So just under a cap I’ll use.
