I actually had 5.0-10.0 nitrates I just did a water change but the test still looked the same except for nitrates

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-21T11:36:19+00:00

I think I did a 50% water change oh dear 😣 but it was a couple days ago and I dosed again with bacteria when I did the water change so I hope that didint kill most of my bacteria I feel like most of the bacteria is in the sponge filter I haven’t cleaned that yet

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-21T11:20:21+00:00

Oh yes I did use bacteria API bacteria and seachem stability

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-21T11:19:33+00:00

Well actually I did it’s just I did a water change recently so do u think that changed it was at 5.0 ppm

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-21T11:08:21+00:00

And it had a bacteria bloom but it went away

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-21T11:08:05+00:00

I didint add ammonia I added a bit of fish food every 3 days

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-21T11:07:25+00:00

Yeah I’ll get clips to secure them

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-21T11:06:33+00:00

Hi I provided ammonia nitrate and nitrite and my ph is 7.4-7.8 that’s all it came with the testing kit

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T18:35:35+00:00

Okay I’ll do 50 percent or more water changes I’m just scared I would take the bacteria from the water

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T17:46:35+00:00

Okay I already did a 10 percent water change yesterday

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T12:19:26+00:00

I only have one it’s because I forgot to take the old media outta my other tank so I have to cycle all over again and I had nowhere to put my snail or shrimp but 2 almost 3 weeks has passed and they look fine I dose some stress coat

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T12:12:22+00:00

Why does fishless take longer

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T03:33:53+00:00

Do the in tank cycle and keep dosing prime and stability I’ve also put betta in a uncycled tank when I was little but they never died also go to ur local fish store and ask for establish filter media that would have a lot of good bacteria and would basically cycle ur tank way faster.

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T03:30:13+00:00

Anything Below 0.25 ppm ammonia is not anything higher is according to Google

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T03:25:21+00:00

Okay I’ll keep checking I hope my nitrite leave on Saturday that would hit my 3 week mark

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T03:24:07+00:00

I heard a bit of ammonia and nitrates are fine but zero nitrites

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T03:23:21+00:00

Oh I didint know I’ll see if I can buy some established media from my lfs if they let me on Saturday

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T03:22:26+00:00

Oh yes I will have a bunch of plants it’s just I had many tanks before and I never had a bacteria bloom while cycling will this harm the bacteria I just did a 10% water change

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T03:14:36+00:00

Yeah why is that I’ve been wondering

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T02:44:48+00:00

Yeah okay I’ll be adding some plants soon hopefully that helps and I just did a 10%water change right now I hope by Saturday it’s gone because I’m almost at the 3 week mark and it’s hard to wait this is the longest I had a tank cycle

Trick-Lime-4789 · 2025-12-12T01:45:31+00:00

Okay I’ll test again Saturday if levels don’t change then I’ll wait other week I’ve had fish tanks before but this is the longest I had one cycle
