currently in the process of fishless cycling with ammonia, no seeded material, dry sand and dry rock.
65 Gallon (Red sea max 250)
day 21 today - my first day with ammonia dropping to 0 within 24 hours, nitrates still >5 and nitrates at 10, checked the dKH and seemsto be lowering now to 6 - used to be stable at 7.5, PH has been constant at 8.1.
Should i be nervous and expect a ph drop, is a pwc necessary to replenish the buffer and what should i dose the ammo back up to daily at this stage, any advise would be awesome!
