My other fish less cycle stalled so I want opinions as to what you would do here. I have been cycling a 75 gallon tank for 20 days or so. It has been moving along nicely.
Started chewing through ammonia pretty well 7 days ago. I dosed the ammonia back up to 4 the evening of the 24th after a 50% water change. It is now down to .5
I am torn between doing another PWC and dosing ammonia or just dosing ammonia.
Test Results for the 24th (before water change):
Ammonia 1
Nitrates and Nitrites off the chart
pH 7.2 (we are usually 8 or 8.2)
50% PWC and dosed Ammonia back up to 4
Today:
Ammonia .5
Nitrates 10
Nitrites off the charts
pH 7.6
the pH today is only .4 or .6 of a drop from our usual so I am tempted to leave it.
What should I do?
