RE: New Tank Cycling
Hi Thor,

Thanks a lot for your reply .. I went to a couple of LFS and a few fish farms but none of them seemed to have any product with Ammonium chloride. Asked them for the one you have suggested (Dr Tim's) and they mentioned that it is not being sold in Singapore.

I did a few readings last night and my nitrites seems to be quite high.
Ammonia : 0.5
Nitrites : 4-8
Ph : 7.4

Didn't test for Nitrates. Will do a complete test for Nitrates and the rest tonight. What i'm scared about is the Nitrites level. Do I do a partial water change (say 30%) to bring down the Nitrites level ? I'm worried that this will also bring down the Ammonia level and its difficult to get ammonia in the tank without dirtying it. I see the gravel has become dirty already because of the fish food.

I'm running an external waterfall filter (Not sure what the technical term for this is) and a sponge filter(connected to an air pump). I have 2 pieces of drift wood with some Java and Christmas moss on them.

Am I going in the right direction ? Do i need to change anything ?

Thanks a lot,
Dean
