well maybe the ammonia is 0 ppm because the nitrites have always come out 0 and with the ammonia it has been really hard to say which one is which because the color looks like yellowish but it also looks like the .25 ppm color so maybe is almost cycled. i did a complete test and it shows 0...

i have had the goldfish from start because i put him in a bigger tank so he could swim more. i just redue the test for nitrates and now it show either 5 ppm or 10 ppm..

ive never try the ammonia stuff because ive use food to create the ammonia. when i had the older tank. however because i already had a fish and transfer that fish to this new tank. where can i get that ammonia that your talking about

well i have a fish in there so ammonia is been produce by the fish . am i correct ? or should i buy another fish to produce enough ammonia for the bacteria?

no. however i use the hagen cycle bacteria to help the tank to get established but that didnt help at all or thats what it appears.

hello i need some help with the nitrogen cycle of my 29 gallon tank, which is 1 1/2 month old. the param. are ammonia 0.25 or 0 ppm nitrite 0 ppm nitrate 0 ppm ph 7.4 so i dont understand what is really going on right now i think by now it should have a complete cycle but for some reason...

oh ok ima have to check the ph the but last time i checked did not reach 8.0 ph. and so far the goldi is happy. but first ima take all the rocks i put in and do what you guys have advice me to do. is it harder to maintain a tropical tank than a goldi?

ok , so the ph on a goldfish is 7.5 pr which one is it? if the ph os to raise a bit use i get a ph bottle to lower the ph. ? sorry if i ask too much but im new in this hobby and i really want to learn so i can later move into saltwater ..

oh ok so if bubles come out when i put the vinegar , those rocks can not be in the tank correct? i have the api master already . ammo is readin .25 n the rest are zero.
