Day 19 of fishless cycling. My reading is:
o pH – 7.6
o Ammonia – 4.0 possibly 8.0 ppm?
o Nitrite – 0 ppm
o Nitrate – 0 ppm
What’s my next move? Been using API stress coat and quick start. Feeding the tank fish food daily. 20 gallon. TIA!!
EDIT:
ALSO, this is a tank I've set up at work. I take care of mentally/physically disabled individuals. I put one of the ladies in charge of feeding the tank everyday, and she ended up putting half a jar of fish food in the tank in about ten days. We did two 50% water changes and did a gravel vacuum twice to remedy that, and now these are my numbers four days after the last 50% water change.
