    NitrAtes ???

    In reality it's not really that high! I know u guys have lower nitrates in ur tap water than us in the uk but ur fish will be ok, my tank is very rarely below 40ppm and can go as high as 80ppm! My fish are happy and healthy and don't have and probs with them!

    How often should I do a water change?

    I change 50% of my water every 2-3 weeks and my water is crystal clear gravel is clean, I never let my water sit for a few days just fill straight from my tap and add conditioner as I fill it up! Everyone does it different but end up with the same results!

    fishless cycle diary- I think I'm almost there!!:)

    I'd give it a couple of days just to make sure ur trites are converted to trates then after that I'd say ur good to go! But just remember little by little when adding fish

    fishless cycle diary- I think I'm almost there!!:)

    I'd say your about 2 days away from being cycled your ammo is being converted to trites just need to make sure trites are being converted to trates I'd personally leave out the ammo and see if ur trites go, by adding more ammo ur going to increase ur trites
