Have you successfully completed a fishless cycle?
Yes
How big is the tank?
10 gal
How long did it take?
about 4 weeks
Did you seed the tank?
Yes
What did you use for seeding?
An ornament and some filter gunk from an established tank
Did your cycle stall at any point?
Yes
When?
About week 3
How did you resolve it?
It was caused by a drop in ph and kh. I just added some baking soda and that fixed it.
Did you fully stock the tank after cycling?
Not yet. The cycle is over but I'm still looking for the fish I want. While I am waiting, I am still putting a little ammonia in the tank to feed the bacteria and keep them alive. I guess they will have to be my pets for now.
