Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hi guys just wanna say hi as im new,i joined as i was on the look out for info on a mini cycle crash caused by adding too many fish,my own fault and i feel dreadful about it :-(.
This was a while ago and i lost a few fish in a 10 gallon,i had young endlers and cory habrosus and a cory jullii i have had for 2 and half yr now,he is only one tht has survived !!
I lost 8 fish altogether :-(,the ammonia went off the scale and i used ammolock as i panicked !! But still lost them,then i stopped ammolock so it could recover naturally,i have a ammo safe alert by seachem in and that has said safe for a while now but it has took ages to get ammonia down on liquid tests API ones,i know it can give high readings on liquid tests using ammolock so stopped after losing fish.
At present i am down to between 4.0 ppm and 2 ppm more towards 2.0 ppm on Api tests,Nitrite is starting to rise slightly,i was stuck at 4.0 ppm for ages and nitrite at 0ppm,it has been a long haul to get it back on track,am i starting to come out of mini cycle ? Any advice would greatly be appreciated,many thanks in advance x
