When do I start changing out filter pads, including the old one stuffed into one of the HOB filters?
Details below:
I am still unclear if my 36 is fully cycled or not and I have some difficulty estimating the colors on the API Master Kit Ammo and Nitrate 40 & 80 charts.
Started with biological input from old 12 gallon tank on 10/6/12.
10/7/12 Ammo n/a, Nitrite .50 Nitrate 40, PH 7.2 (skipped dates)
10/13/12 Ammo .25, Nitrite .25, Nitrate 80, PH 7.6
10/18/12 Ammo 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 40, PH 8.0
10/19/12 Ammo 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 40, PH 7.8
10/28/12: Ammo .1, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 40, PH 7.4 High Range
10/29/12: Ammo .1, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 40, PH 7.4 High Range
10/31/12: Ammo .1, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 40, PH 7.4 High Range
11/3/12: Ammo .15, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 60, PH 7.4 High Range
11/4/12: Ammo .1, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 40, PH 7.4 High Range
Aqueon 36 Gallon Bow Front Kit with AquaFlow 30 Power filter, Emperor Bio Wheel 280 power filter, thermometer. Planted.
(I am thinking about adding a Power Head and sponge filter or canister filter.)
