Hello,
I have a quick question about my 210 and they cycle process. I have went with a fishless cycle. On Christmas
I added the correct amount of Dr. Tim's Ammonia Chloride to reach 2ppm. I added some Brightwell Microbacter7
and let it go. I have been testing on occasion. A few minutes ago I just tested and my results are below.
Ammonia = 0.00
Nitrite = 0.00
Nitrate = 50ppm (down from 100ppm last week)
My test kit is Red Sea for ammonia and Salifert for No3 and No4.
My question is just continue to wait for Nitrates to drop? I'm in no rush considering my journey started March of 2018. I don't want to miss the opportunity to put fish in and the good bacteria has nothing to feed on.
My last question is how big of a water change do I need to perform once the cycle is complete. Thanks.
