My 10 gallon tank finished cycling last month (I did a fishless cycle and followed the guide on these forums). I'm at the part where I'm adding 1.0 ppm of ammonia daily to keep the bacteria fed until I add fish. I haven't been able to add fish due to me traveling a lot lately due to work. I plan...

I'm in the middle of a fishless cycle. I was just to the point in the guide where my Nitrite and Nitrate levels were off the chart so I did a 50-60% water change. My Nitrates went down however my Nitrites have not. I'm still testing at a violet purple color that is off the chart. I'm also having...

I'm currently in the middle of a fishless cycle right now, the nitrates have just started to show up. I've had the lights off in my 10 gallon like the guide said however I had to dose the ammonia back up to 4ppm and noticed the water has a yellowish tint to it. What is causing this? I have one...

Hi, I just bought a 50W Marineland Stealth Pro Heater for my 10 gallon tank last night because my old glass heater was not working properly. I've been doing some research and can't really find an answer. I have it set to 78F but my thermometer is reading about 73F. When I put the heater in I...

Hi my name is Mike, I'm from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I've had a 10 gallon tank for 9 years now and a 55 work in progress that was given to me. Currently the only fish I have in my 10 gallon is a big convict cichlid that I've had for almost 6 years now. I've been a little inactive due to work...
