    Day 67 of fishless cycle...

    I don't understand why things aren't progressing. Ammonia is converting VERY slowly. It drops 1 ppm every 4 to 5 days. Nitrites are converting at a pace that keeps their level around 1 to 1.5 ppm. Dosing ammonia is pure, no surficants or scents, passes the shake test. Readings: Ammonia: 3...

    Betta with popeye

    We've had a little 2.5 gallon aquarium with a betta that we brought home from the store not being cycled. Of course, no one at the store ever warned of cycling or anything so off we went. It wasn't until more recently I discovered cycling, this forum, and all the useful info on here. We have...

    Stop making babies! Please.

    Seriously though, I will hopefully be adding fish to my tank in about 3 or 4 weeks. If I have a school of fish like cardinal tetra, is there a way to discourage reproduction? This is my first tank, I'd like to keep things simple and babies are a whole extra obstacle to deal with. Should I get...

    New guy, new tank

    Hey guys and gals, I've been lurking here for a while and finally registered! I got a 29G tank the other day and set it up. This is my first aquarium so I'm still figuring things out. I read the "fishless cycling for dummies" thread which was very helpful. So I have my tank set up in place...
