i am a beginner and wasn't much aware of this cycling process. I was told in store that i have to fill up the aquarium, put the gravels and let filter run for 2-3 days and then i can add the fish. so i did that . I bought 4 guppy and 3 glow fish they all died in 4 days then i bought 3 mollies and today they died too. after reading online now I know that cycling process is lot more then what i know. Now i don't want to add any more fish before it is cycled.
I want to do fish-less cycling. Current water analysis -- Ammonia - 0, nitrite - 3.0, nirtate - 20, pH - 7.6, Alkalinity - 120, hardness - 75, chlorine and chloramine - 0, Temp - 77.
How should I proceed? Should I remove existing water and add new?
