Hi guys,
Wondering if you can reassure me in this matter.
I set up my tank on the 21st of this month and upon checking it yesterday (being the 24th) my ammo level had dropped to between 0.5 and 1ppm but no signs of nitrites, so i re-dosed to 4ppm ammo and left it til today where i have just checked it and my ammo has dropped down again but now we have 1ppm nitrites.
It suddenly dawned on me that i left the decent sized fake rock cave in from when it was a coldwater setup but changed everything else so my only assumption is that this has helped with the quick cycle start (the coldwater tank was running for over 6 months but i didn't fishless cycle it when i set it up).
Does that sound legitimate and can i start getting excited
Thanks
Andy
