Well a few days ago nitrite readings were really high. But today it was 0 so I'm thinking that I'll keep checking and then do a big water change and check for a week after and then add fish

My lights are on about 10 hours a day. I removed the CO2 for now but will introduce again later when I have fish in the tank. I thought that airstone help aerate the water helping with the cycling processes. It's been going on about a little over 5 weeks but I went away for the fourth and...

I'm currently in process of fishless cycling a 40g hex front tank. I have a lot of algae in the tank. I was getting some plants started while cycling but haven't had much luck with them as they get covered in algae. I'm frustrated as I went away for a few days and left the CO2 I had going...

I'm currently doing a fishless cycle and recently have had an algae problem. I have a planted tank and recently had CO2 in the tank. I've recently turned on a airstone. I'm thinking of taking out all of the plants.

So I got new fish and soon after my ammonia is 0 and Nitrites are 0 and my nitrates are showing about 40 so I'm going to do a 25% wc. Do you think after that it would be cycled or should I continue to monitor. Ammonia and nitrites have been 0 for 4 days now.

Thanks for replying. I seem to be having an issue with ph. I am using a dechloranator. Tetra easy balance. Is there something else that can assist in regulating ph. I know water changes will help. What other fish would be good for cycling? I was hoping to have kuhli loaches, Cory cats, some...

My "new" tank. 40 gal hex front tank.

I have a 40 gal hex front tank that is cycling right now. I have 2 filters in it right now. A 20 gal biowheel from my old tank and a 60 gal tetra filter. This will also be a planted aquarium as well. I wanted to know when I'm stocking the tank if I can stock it for what the filters can...

I haven't bought it yet but saw stuff about it on another forum. They mentioned that there was no rinsing involved which I highly doubt. It's a little more expensive so wanted to other experiences before buying. I was thinking the same thing as I'm looking to aquascape with some sand and...

Has anyone used this sand before? I've read it's a good sand that doesn't require rinsing prior to be put into the tank. Also I've read it's inert and can be used in freshwater tanks. I'm going to have a planted aquarium and am deciding on a substrate. I think I've narrowed it down to this and...

I am setting up a 40 gal tank and am planning what to put into it. I would like to get either a couple angelfish or cichlids in addition to general community fish. I have zebra danios currently that will be making the move. If I get something like cherry shrimp or something similar will I have...

I'm new here. I currently have a planted 13 gal freshwater tank. I'm currently in the process of resealing a 40 gal hex front tank that will be set up as a planted tank with sand substrate. It's my first tank of this size so may definitely need some help as I go.
