So I got a 10 gallon setup, gonna try my hand at breeding rcs for when I get my 55 gal and whatever else is in my future lol. I think I'll use this thread to keep everyone updated.

GoneFishing said:Got a question. I got the 10 gallon today, added flourite as substrate. Added filter media from my established 29 gallon. Also have a moss ball in there. My question is.... I just did a parameter test 3 times cause the readings were unrealistic.
pH is 7.6 all three times.. this is ok
Ammo is 0ppm all three tests
NitrIte is 0ppm two test pure light blue, third test light blue/light purple.
NitrAte was 10ppm all three tests.
This can't be can it? Tank cycles in less than a few hours? I didn't add tank water from my 29 like I was planning. All I did was flourite, media, and a moss ball.. what's going on here? I even had my wife administer the third test. Any thoughts?
GoneFishing said:Ok test c/w
Ammo 0ppm
NitrIte 0ppm
NitrAte 5ppm
Had my wife double check readings nitrAte was a def 5 from tap
GoneFishing said:Nope I was waiting to transfer two berried ghost shrimp. Just getting odd cycle readings for the tank being setup for 4 hrs.
