i think i have my answer i went to my awesome lfs and told him about the tub turning blue and green and he told me that it is copper and he gave me a poly filter. so well see how that works :)

The only diff is the ph in the old tank is 6.8. Everything is the same except the well water. I'm showing a read of 0 ammonia. I'm not sure why I need ammonia removers...

I have a 10 gallon tank. Ph 7.2 Amm 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 5 temp 78. I took 2 fancy tail guppies and 2 swordtails from an established tank. The guppies hanging out at the top of tank. The swords at the bottom and none of them eating. When I first put them all in the tank they all pooped alot. I...

i have been cycling my 10 gallon fresh tank for about 6 weeks. i was finally almost done where nitrite was back down to zero and the ammonia was barely detectable. i added 2 tbsp of ammonia to keep the bacteria eating. now i am detecting 5 nitrite and 6.0 ammonia. did i just add too much...

i took all the new gravel out and cleaned it and i am keeping out until the tank is fully cycled. there was alot of debris all over the place (my ammonia was 8.0 +) i kept the sub from another established tank in there to get the bacteria from that. i have 4 very patient fish in there and i...

i am in the middle of cycling and it took alot of cleaning but i finally got the ammonia to a not so high reading. i am really confused at why im registering nitrates and not nitrites. there is 0 ammonia and nitrate in my tap water. can anyone help with some insight?

i lost a fish once and after searching i found it on the floor, it jumped out in the small space where the top has a cutout for the filter.

i have 0 ammonia and nitrates in my tap. i just checked the water after everything i did last night and there are still high ammonia levels. i just changed 60% and i am off to get some live bacteria and a mesh bag to replace the bowl i have to est sub in. The fish in here are so tolerant i...

i tested the tap and it is 0 for ammonia , i do have gravel from another established tank in the tank...thats about all thats left in there until its fully cycled. there was so much debris, taking all the sub out was the only thng that made sense. i have also been using ammo lock every day...

i am using a liquid test kit. I do have fish in there that are being sooooo patient with me. i just took 90% of the water out there, changed the filter cartridge, took all the rocks and cleaned thoroughly (no soap of course). i am leaving the rocks out and only partially filled tank with...

i started a fishy cycle and its been about two weeks and my ammonia level is very high 8.0 (no matter how much i change it, up to 2x a day) but what im confused about is i have 0 nitrite but the nitrate level is 10. does anyone have any ideas why nitrite is 0?

thanks for all your help!

I took a bio filter from an established tank and I will tale some gravel today and put in mine. Along w the water changes I am using ammo lock everyday to lessen the toxicity.

I was familiar w cycling except for adding ammonia ( when u do it without fish-duh I shoulda known better) Because there's ammonia in the water now if I put the fish into another established tank will the tank continue and finish the cycle? I really don't want the fish to die. I feel real bad :(

i started my 10 gallon tank about 6 wks ago. i started with no fish and when the all the levels were 0 (ammonia nitrate and nitrite) i added 2 albino pineapple swordtails and 2 mickeymouse platys. none of the fish really ate alot and then started acting lethargic and i checked the ammonia and...
