I've been cycling a 5 gallon FluVal tank and it's been very slow going. It's been sort of one step foreward one step back. Today I was about to do a partial water change because my PH is dropping and my Nitrites are at or above 5.0. I just happened to really read the directions on the dechlor the fish store sold me, Seachem prime. It not only removes Chlorine and Chloramine, it also removes AMONIA! It also detoxifies Nitrite and Nitrate. So it seems this might be the answer to my problem right? So should I do a larger water change today of 60 or more percent and use a normal dechlor without all the other stuff in it? Or should I do the PWC without declor and then add declor to the tank once the cycle is complete? Whats a good declor for during a fishless cycle?
