Keep measuring for ammonia and nitrite at a minimum. Fish-in cycling means you gotta be ready for a water change at a moments notice. Keep your (fish tank only) 5gal pail, a bailing pitcher or gravel vac hose and your dechlorinator all together for quick/easy access.I just did a water change and they seem a little more active... I will do another small one tomorrow
What size tank is this? Like I say, I fully stocked my 20g long with nothing more than a used sponge bubbler filter and used HOB filter (both from my other tank) and never saw ammonia or nitrites. I did big water changes anyway though.
