    I am getting weird readings.

    I will stop with that then. Guess that's why it's so high and unusual. Thank you. You have been really helpful. I have failed so many times by now, with small casualties unfortunately. But I seem to be getting there. Can't understand how some people(that I know) can just put their fish in tap...

    I am getting weird readings.

    Yeah, got ammonia from the store, but I am worried about what else is in it. Don't want to leave there chemicals,that I won't be able to detect. And I feel that the food path is kind of slow. Btw. I am also adding Easy Life Easy Carbo(1ml daily as it says on the bottle) and King British Aquatic...

    Need some advice with cycling.

    The way I see the results from the tank is, that ammonia is close to, Nitrite is 0 and Nitrate is high. I just did a 25% change and brought down the Nitrate to 20ppm. Which to what I read is the last part of the cycle, meaning the bacteria that transforms nitrite in Nitrate is present. I did not...

    Need some advice with cycling.

    I don't mean to keep like a lot, maybe one or two. Or at least get the cycle started and have some bacteria established that will break down ammonia on a 24h cycle. I have a larger tank, that I plan to aquascape and plant. But I need to test my cycle on somethink. And this small one is perfect...
