Aquarium Advice Apprentice
29G FW, 150W Heater, Aqueon Quietflow 20, Air Pump w/ stones on each end of tank. Set-Up 8/16/11 w/ Fish-IN Cycle. Using API Test Kit.
Stock: 3 Mollies, 4 Guppies, 1 Baby Angel, 1 Albino Cory, 2 Long Fin Tetras, about 12 Ghost Shrimp & 1 Spotted Hi Fin Pleco.
(I am aware of the schooling needs of some of my fish & that the pleco is too big-LFS did not ask about my tank when I bought the pleco 1 week after tank set-up & my schools were larger but ammonia spikes due to lack of cycle knowledge has ruined the schools) Once I am cycled & make sure I am not overstocked due to the pleco I will complete my schools.
Last 75% PWC was 10/25/11 @9am due to .25ppm Ammo, 0ppm Nitrite, 5ppm Nitrate, & 7.6 PH.
Results since that PWC.
10/26/11 5pm Ammo/Nitrite 0, Nitrate 5ppm
10/27/11 10am Ammo/Nitrite 0, Nitrate 5ppm
10/27/11 6:45pm Ammo/Nitrite 0, Nitrate 10ppm
10/28/11 8am Ammo .25ppm, Nitrite 0ppm, & Nitrate 20ppm (doing a pwc as we read)
With the above results and the fact that I did not have to complete a PWC in 3 days I am thinking that I am very close too or am cycled???????
I hope I have given enough info for a proper response. If not, lemme know whatcha need. HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
