should i do a water change!?

[Roan Art]

no problem......i like gettin things done fast....i hate waiting...but i will for fishy's sake.


so....just leave it and let the ammonia work itself out right? unless it starts getting over 4 ppm?

Yep, so long as there's no fish in there. Check the sticky on Fishless Cycling and go over what Rockabillychick was telling you on how to manage that part. I've never done a fishless cycle so I want to make sure you get the right info. I've always used Bio Spira to cycle with.

Good luck!

just make sure that if you use biospira, that you follow the directions. biospira + fishless cycle = badbad.

you need to add the biospira, wait 24 hours, add your FULL STOCK of fish, wait another 24 hours and test the water to make sure its working. there will probably be a small cycle still, but it should be very small. don't do any water changes for at least 48 hours after adding the biospira. have to give the bacteria time to grab onto something so you don't just pour them down the drain with the water.
