Hello Thor,
First of all I want to thank you for all your suggestions and knowledge about fishless cycling and being able to use your forum. I have a few more questions that I need answered.
Why is my PH crashing within 2 days? Is it because of the amount of ammonia I'm adding (between 2.0 ~4.0ppm) every 12 hours now?
For 2 days now I am able to convert Ammonia and Nitrite to 0, but I'm ready to do another water change this morning because my PH is between 6.0 ~6.4 and my nitrates are 40ppm. Am I nearing the end of my cycle? Is this normal for the PH to crash like this so quickly? Once I put fish in the tank will the PH be more stable since the ammonia amount won't be so drastic at the beginning? I'm just trying to understand the whole PH thing! I hope doing water changes every two days is normal because that's what I'm having to do to keep my PH up. Anxiously waiting for your response!
Lorraine
