I haven't seen part one?

But if your doing a fishless cycle may I ask why would you're doing a water during?

 

[Jannika]

If you're using Prime or any other ammonia detox product, it will continue to show up on your tests even though it's been converted to non-toxic form.

Part I here, Optimus.

Thread title says fish cycle

 

[Optimus]

Yup

I'm still learning my way around this forum. I know cycles as "fish in" or "fishless" so wasn't quite sure what "fish cycle" was hence the question.

But with that said any measurable amount of ammonia during a fish in cycle should be removed by means of an water change immediately.

 

[SOUPNAZZI]

Correct. That's what i'm doing at the moment. My ammonia levels increased to .5 PPM. Water changes everyday.
Nitrites still at 0 ppm

Good luck

Keep us posted!
