ok, thanks eco will try that.

nop no way anythin else got in there and i dont have any where i can get seeded materiial from as my local pet place doesnt even support fishless cycling as a viable method of setting up a tank. the only other thing iv noticed is sorta like a brown residue which is on one of my ornaments, the...

did that pwc and added the fish food and topped up the amm as suggested but it has been stuck at 4ppm for about a week now n I'm feelin a little confused as to why its stopped again, i've started leaving the tank lid up to see if tht helps cud tht be the problem?

Thanks Eco, will give this a try and let you know how i get on. just done the water change about 40% and added the fish food so will test again in the morning, just wondering even tho i have lots of air and water movement i have quite a sealed lid on the tank cud this being shut be stopping the...

Ammo firstly doesd to 4ppm dropped to almost oppm in 3 weeks but no nitrites showing and no nitrates. doesed back up to 4ppm 3 weeks ago and it has only dropped to 0.5 ppm showed nitritrites just above 0ppm once but no nitrates about monday this week, test twice since and nothin no drop in Amm...

is it possible for nitrites to vanish? when i saw nitrites show other day i tested the following day and ever since there has been no nitrites or nitrates showin and no drop in ammonia :(

Lol yeh I was kinda dancinc and shoutin iv got nitrites he he

0ppm nitrates so wud assume the nitrites only kicked in a short time ago, did my last test on friday and nothin then

FOr all those Waiting for NItrites to show!!! I started my cycle on 25/04/2011 and today am finally showing nitrites!! its well worth the wait never thought a tube of water trning purple could be so fab!

YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I've got Nitrites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMm 0.50, Nitrites wud say just under 0.25ppm but definately not bright blue solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still waiting for nitrate test to finish

it does it does! Just cant wait til those nitrites show i swear i'll be jumping for joy when that lil test tube goes purple!!

still the same as above today :( took 18 days to drop the ammo to almost 0ppm first time and is now on day 13 so possible it could be taking the same length of time again, i wud have thought this shud get faster :S

I just learned about cycling but I already have fish. What now?! I think this is a link that may help, Not sure why ur tank is smelly I'm new too but as for things I've read i think ur going to have to do significant water changes at least once a day

Ammo - 0.5- 1 PPM NitrItes - 0ppm NitrAtes - 0ppm Nice drop in ammo since the extra oxygen and water movement :)

I'm on my second lot of Ammo and havent seen nitrites or nitrates yet hoping to see some very soon and I've been cycling for 4 weeks :)

think the bit that annoyed me yesterday is altho it was obvious they didn't know what they were on about they were so adament that i was wrong and they were right and that it was impossible to do a cycle without fish. I'm gonna test again monday to see what effect the extra water movement has...

I think its the lack of seeded material that makes it take longer but its all worth it.

I just wanna be able to go in that shop n say u know that fishless cyclong that wudnt work well it does ha ha im right (childish but they really annoyed me!!) lol

I've been cycling for almost 4 weeks now and altho i have got rid of one lot of ammonia this took 3 weeks and now on my second lot still no Nitrites or Nitrates as of yesterday. I have just added an air pump and moved my filter to give alot more surface water movement as this is sugested as...

OOo its good to hear sum1 else not havite trites or trates at a similar time to myself, i think it was the oxygen that might have been casusing problems hoping that the next test will show something. Good luck to you too!

in North west. only a Pets at home near us. Got all my bubles running now looks fabby

ne way I know have change my fitting on my filter so that it has an output pipe with loads of outlets pointed slightly upwards so it creates alot more surface movement and added a small air pump with a bubble disc which boths looks very pretty and adds alot of movement and pretty bubbles. gonna...

Well all i can say is I am not trying to speak to ANYONE in a pet shop again! they were horrible to me basically told me i was doing it all wrong by going fishless n that nitrites or nitrates wont show cos i dont have any fish. she acutally said and why are you doing it fishless n gave me the...
