Fishless Cycling Question

[Mgamer20o0]

remember a cycle can take 3-4 weeks some times even longer. give it some time it will happen.

what purpose does the algae wafers serve?

It will break down into ammonia, another way to do a fishless cycle if pure ammonia is not availible.

lol, Thanks Mgamer...I was worried I wouldnt have any water left to test after a month or so of waing to fully cycle! Its only gone down about 3/4s an inch, but it all adds up. xD Im just excited that my ammonia is way high now; cant wait for the day I finally start to see some nitrites! Yay.

Just dont let your ammonia get over 6ppm or it can stall your cycle out...if you see it getting that high do a water change to get it around the 4ppm mark.

Oh wow! >.< Mines reading 8ppm right now. How much of a water change?

 

[southpaw]

I would do about a 50% to get it around 4ppm
