Aquarium Advice Addict
I think my tank is cycled because a few hours after adding SafeStart Plus I got an ammo reading. To test if my tank is cycled instead of using pure ammo can I use tropical fish flakes? I have heard of other people using fish food as a source of ammo.
Safe start isnt an ammonia source! You can use flakes but they give off very little ammonia and will rot and foul your water. Did you research cycling an aquarium at all???
