acceptable level??

i read an article that said that you need to cycle your tank to get your ammonia and nitrites at an acceptable level.????but what if my levels are already at an acceptable level?

How long has the tank been up and running? Size? Filtration? Did you bring media over from an existing set up?

I would monitor until very sure the cycle is done.
 
I think he means you know when you just fill the tank and test it its all at 0. I think that's what he means. You need amonia to start all that then you bring it back down to 0 you can buy stuff to speed up this process. Go into the article section and read the article about cycling a new tank
 
Guess I didn't say it well Kody....but yes, is it a new set up Sharpie? I couldn't pull up the link on cycling to copy it in the message and I believe Sharpie has some tanks set up recently unless I misunderstood previous threads.
 
Thanks for postin the links rbishop I'm not on the comp right now so I couldn't post um. I don't think I have read any of his other post. Sharpie when you reply please make sure to answer the questions from rbishops first post so we can help you out ;)
 
yes plants will help if you have an extra filter eathier run it with the new filter on the tank or put the new filter on an old tank
