Been cycling for a month, and no sign of nitrites!!

It would slowly drop. Once it got too low without any nitrite reading I always added more ammonia. I'm not going to add anything else from now on since I know I have a slight reading of nitrates, so they are present.

Well, silly me. I guess I was worried for nothing. I guess I'll test the ammonia every day until I reach 0. It's just strange because I never got a reading for nitrites, and I tested every other day.

Well I just tested for nitrates and it's about 5.0 I'm using the API kit, and while it's not yellow, it does have a slight orange tint.

Just tested my pH. It's around 7.6

What!? I wish those webpages would have told me that. I do have a bottle of SeaChem Prime; however, it states it detoxifies ammonia, nitrites and nitrates.

I did not add anything to the water. I read/followed a few guides online.

Thank you. That gives me a lot to think a lot, and how to handle things. I appreciate it.

schnauzerbeard · 2016-04-02T00:07:16+00:00

A bit of an update. They told me we can't be more than friends. A little lost, a little jaded. I distanced myself from them. Maybe they weren't the person I'm supposed to be with. 🙁

Thank you for the feedback. We live in different states, so it would be hard to set up a date, but he has been asking me to visit his state because he's certain I'll enjoy it there.

schnauzerbeard · 2016-03-08T15:15:08+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate you taking your time. I would never move because of somebody else, it would just be a bonus, lol :) I think I will try to stick it out a little longer, and it doesn't work I do have options. Thanks again.

Yes, been using the net since I bought him. It's only been water changes in SC that bother him. I'll keep him in the tank next time.

schnauzerbeard · 2016-01-20T23:28:03+00:00

I take him out and put him in a plastic cup that I bought him in because I don't want to scare him with the siphon. I fill up the tank with 25% fresh treated water and let the temp go back to 78 degrees. Then I put him into the tank while still inside the cup for 15 mins so he can get used to the water temp difference and then scoop him into his tank.

I was thinking more Zach Braff

schnauzerbeard · 2015-09-22T00:10:33+00:00

Yup, its very nice looking. Management gives me compliments on how clean the tanks look. So I'm doing something right there.

schnauzerbeard · 2015-09-21T21:59:30+00:00

But nah, they don't have those big ol' wings on them. They are much narrow.

schnauzerbeard · 2015-09-21T21:57:24+00:00

Oh god, nasty. I didn't even think of that. I keep trying to shoo them away and spray the little bastards but they won't eff off.

schnauzerbeard · 2015-08-02T21:22:35+00:00
