no live rock and nitrates are zero today.I don't see how that could happen unless the prime messed with test.i'm going to try quick start tomorrow since i have ammonia and that's how it works.

i decided to use prime.my test results are the same today.

they are in a 55 but i have a 30 and 20 so i guess ill set it up and buy some bacteria

i made a mistake by using my filter media from fresh to salt water and it's cycling after 6 days.I have three fish in there and my ammonia is0.25 and nitrites 0.25 and nitrates at 20 ppm.i put prime in but i have three fish coming in the mail tuesday.I could set up another tank and let this go...

Also eats ghost shrimp but usually swallows them.

I've had my puffer for five days and he seems to only like shrimp and he likes to go for the tails for some reason.My question is i want to make sure it's teeth get proper care because i had one before and it couldn't eat because i fed him wrong.Is the shell from shrimp hard enough to keep them...

do you realize a maroon clown is 6 inches also and lions don't mess with them.

I used microbacter from brightwell aquatics and already the ammonia and nitrites are down so i guess it's at the end and tomorrow another water change should do it.Glad i didn't put alot of fish in .I have a gold stripe maroon clown and a damsel and lion.All hardy but wish it was cycled.I...

I thought i was done with the cycle because nitrates went up and i did a water change and everything was good.Have a lion fish going on three weeks and checked today and everthing was of the charts.I did three wc of nearly 50% and still have ammonia at 0.25-0.50.nitrate at 40 and nitrite at...

just curious what others do when feeding ghost shrimp.Some die on the bottom and i don't want a spike in ammonia.scop most with a net.

I had nitrates this morning 20 ppm and did a 60%water change and everything is at 0.I don't know what happened to my nitrites.My test kit is expired maybe that's it but i think i'm cycled.

brown algae started awhile ago but everything is 0

it doesn't look like it,very yellow on test card.

it's been three weeks today and i wish i never did a four gallon water change.I didn't thinkk it would slow things down so much.I just checked ph and it's really high.Still no nitrites so should i leave it alone?

Thanks ,I guess i have to wait for nitrites to go up.I will just be patient.

I have a 75 gallon and tested yesterday and everything zero.Just checked again and ammonia is off the chart.nitrate and nitrite still zero and ph 7.8.I've done around 10 cycles in the past but forgot if i should leave it alone or do a water change.Store gave me a yellow tail damsel so he is in...

I have a emporer 400 and put the correct amount in those grey things they give you.Is this enough flow for it to work?I'm on day three and still at 2.0

I guess I'll take out 50% and fill up five gallons a day from the water at walmart.Its r/o water and I'll do it daily.

Why did it go from 2.0 to 5.0 after a water change,that doesn't make sense.

My water is 5.0 after the water change.I think it's the neutral regulator I added

I just read the bottle and it says contains phosphate buffers.Should I do another 50% without any additived?

I did a 50% water change and just tested my water and it's worse.Its at 5.0 now and I put new carbon in it.My tap water is almost 0 so I don't understand it.I did add seachem neutral regulator could that do it?

I'll do a 50 % water change today after I clean everything and double up on water changes.

I checked my tap and it looks like it's almost zero or 0.5 and my tank is near 2.0

I will check my tank for phosphates and my tap water.Thanks for all the advise.
