RE: First Proper Fishless Cycle (am I doing it right?)
Since my last post my tank has stopped "eating" the ammonia. Everyday for 7 days it was "eating" 1ppm of ammonia. I decided that I should buy another small bottle of Tetra SafeStart and dose the tank with it to nudge it. On Saturday my levels were 1ppm of ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10-20ppm of nitrate, and high pH of 7.4. I dosed it to 2 ppm and then later that day I dosed it with the SafeStart and now every morning and night when I check the tank it reads 2 ppm of ammonia. I have not added any ammonia since Saturday and I don't know what to do. My levels this morning were 2 ppm of ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 10-20ppm of nitrate. Please Help!
