    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    Mean mugging. Everything went as planned. Thanks for the help, everyone! Good luck with your cycles.

    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    I believe cycled? 8.2 PH 0 ammonia 0 nitrItes 20+(?) nitr8tes

    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    Alright, quick question. I tested this morning this is what I got ~24 hours since my last test: 8.2 ph 0 ammo (from 3 ppm) 0 nitrItes ~10.0 nitr8tes I was under the impression that my nitr8tes would eventually get really high. I never crossed 10.0 ppm to my knowledge. Or if it did, it never...

    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    That's basically what I also what plan to do. Particularly the dose a little and then redose 4 as sort of a final exam. Glad to know it's working. I bet you will be ready sometime this week. -- For my own records... 8.2 ph 0 ammo (from 2 ppm) .5 nitrItes 5 nitr8tes

    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    Based on what I've read, I think the nItrites getting too high stalled the cycle? And then I kept feeding ammo because that's what the guide says to do. So by doing a water change (needed to do 2, actually), I reduced the nitrItes to a reasonable level. Then I think dosing less than the...

    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    Awesome. Tested again just now. Not quite 24 hours, but this is more a convenient time so I'm resetting it to now... -ph remains a consistent 8.2 -ammo to 0 (from 2 ppm) in less than 24 hours -I honestly can't tell what nitrIte is. Why does 2 and 5 look identical? But it didn't turn purple...

    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    Waiting isn't an issue for me. It's my cycling going off course a little that's confusing the heck out of me. lol. It's really the lack of nitr8tes. Is it still a complete cycle if one day I wake up and my ammo and nitItes are gone, and I still haven't seen any nitr8tes? Just show me some...

    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    nitrItes still off the chart this morning. So I did another 50%. Not sure what to do anymore. -- Tested just now. Approximately 3 hours later since the second water change. nitrItes are now .50 ppm. Nitr8tes are 0. What now? Should I add to 2 ppm ammo?

    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    Okay! I just did a ~60% water change. I tested this morning before that (I had dosed ammo to 4ppm before my original post). Same as before. Ammo down to 0 in less than 24 hours, nitrIte off the chart, and nitr8te originally looked like almost 5... And then I started shaking it and somehow it...

    I have not done any yet. What % pwc would you recommend?

    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    That's interesting. From what I've been reading about situations somewhat similar to mine (except they at least read nitr8tes) is that maybe I should reduce the ammo to 2 ppm or even let it sit on 0 for a day. I might try that. The reducing to 2 for a few days and see if that changes anything...

    It does.

    Ammo to 0(ish) in less than 24 hours, maybe no nitr8tes yet?

    Pictures are probably bad... My apologies. Day 12 of a fishless cycle. First time cycling. Been following the almost complete guide. It's a 5g tank that's planted. Some sword bunched up, dwarf grass, and marimo moss stringed to a large piece of drift. I have estes and national geo sand along...
