Hi everyone I just tested my tank last night my ammonia was 0.45 and my nitrate was 20.5 also just had fish in it for about a week. I was planning on doing my first weekly water change on friday. Do you think I should do it sooner?

Hello I’ve been cycling my 40 gallon tank for more than 2 weeks. My ammonia has been around 0.25 for the past few days while my nitrite has been 0. My nitrates is 2.5 and it’s slowly going up 0.1-0.3 everyday. Is my tank ready for fish and should I do a water change?

Hello, I’m starting a new 40 gallon tank and I’m wondering if I can use live rock as a source of ammonia so I can add Dr Tim’s one and only nitrifying bacteria. If I can should I add the bacteria immediately?

Hi All, I have started fishless cycling with Dr tim's in my 50G tank with Live sand and dry rock. It took about 3 weeks when I got 0 Ammonia, 0 nitrite. As suggested in other threads ,added 2ppm ammonia again just to confirm if my tank is actually cycled . And it took 4 days to get 0 again...

Hi, I have been cycling my tank for 1 month now, I have got lots of maxspect bioballs in the filtration and have been adding special blend bacteria twice weekly. I have upped my ghost feeding to a decent amount everyday but my ammonia has only gone up to 0.25 and I still don’t have a nitrate or...
