Hi everyone. I'm fishless cycling a 48 gallon and have a question about Prime. I'm at the point where my tank is taking 4ppm of ammonia down to 0ppm in under 24 hours. My nitrItes and nitrAtes are absolutely through the roof and I've heard that if they are TOO high it can stall the cycle.
I'd like to do a 30% water change (with my new Python I got today!) to get the levels down a little bit.
If I add Prime to remove the chlorine/chloramines, doesn't it also remove the ammonia and nitrItes too? I can obviously dose the ammonia back up to 4ppm , but if it takes out all the nitrItes in the water, wont that stall the nitrItes to nitrAtes bacteria?
Any help or explanation is appreciated!
