Well, i'm starting my fourth week in my new tank and I was wondering how far my cycle is. I just came home from my 2-day weekend and I checked all of my levels. Here they are :
Ammonia = .5 ppm
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = 0
It seems like I am not progressing in my cycle at all. Hmm, there are still 7 Danios 6 Tiger Barbs and 3 Neon Tetras, and I keep my ammonia levels under .35 ppm. So, I would be changing about 40-50 percent water everytime I change my water, and I do this every 1.5 days. I put about a half of a capfull of prime (25 gallon tank) each time and every sunday, I put in 2.5 capfulls of stress zyme.
Any idea why nothing is happening?
My guess is that the de-chlorine is mixing with the stress zyme.
