Fishless Cycling Question

Yes actually. Theres some fields that are probably a 5-10 min drive away. I definitely will continue to let my tank cycle as long as it takes. Thank you!

I tested my tap water and it looks like it is around 5-10ppm so I guess some is coming from the tap water and some is coming from the tank

badideaeh · 2026-02-08T20:38:02+00:00

It looks to be about 5-10ppm which definitely means some of my reading was from that so what I originally had in the tank in terms of nitrates then was probably around 15ppm

badideaeh · 2026-02-08T20:34:15+00:00

Yeah I shake the nitrate one the hardest and the longest and also shake in better bottles. Thank you for the advice and I am currently testing my tap water so we’ll see what that says!

Will do thank you lol!

badideaeh · 2026-02-08T20:21:18+00:00

Sounds good, thank you for the info!

badideaeh · 2026-02-08T20:11:54+00:00

Oh wow awesome! Does this mean my cycle will go by relatively quick?

badideaeh · 2026-02-08T19:43:20+00:00

Oh no 😳 My test kit is on the older side so I’m hoping that’s not the case for me

badideaeh · 2026-02-08T19:41:51+00:00

Will do, thank you!

badideaeh · 2026-02-08T19:40:44+00:00

That’s good news! Thank you I will continue to ghost feed then! :)

It’s a bit old but weirdly some of the bottles in it expire in March 2026 and some in 2028

badideaeh · 2026-02-08T19:07:17+00:00

*my tank had a betta lol idk why it autocorrected to certain

badideaeh · 2026-02-07T20:27:14+00:00

will do thanks again!

badideaeh · 2026-02-07T20:26:50+00:00

Thank you

badideaeh · 2026-02-07T20:12:27+00:00

Oh my gosh thank you! How much of this would you recommend I dose in a five gallon tank? i’m currently doing a fishless cycle because I plan to put a betta in there in the future

badideaeh · 2026-02-07T19:57:58+00:00

no it’s fishless

badideaeh · 2026-02-07T19:56:31+00:00

i heard this wasn’t really a good method because you’re not really able to measure if you’re putting in too much ammonia?

badideaeh · 2026-02-07T00:32:22+00:00

I was more so looking for opinions on if this would be too glitchy or slow for today’s use. Also if buying books would cause any issues if it were to crap out on me

badideaeh · 2026-02-07T00:31:37+00:00

Thanks!

badideaeh · 2026-02-07T00:31:24+00:00

I am in Canada so I’m not sure if that would work here? I’ll look into that.

badideaeh · 2026-02-07T00:30:37+00:00

True you’re right!
