I have a 15g tank that I've been cycling and relized that I put in too much ammonia to start the cycling process (I was stupid and forgot to account for the displacement from the rocks). It's been cycling for about 1.5 months and went to my LFS Thursday to test my water and it was 0 ammonia and...
Hello! New to the aquarium game . I have a few cycling questions maybe someone can help me. I’ve been cycling my Orbit (jellyfish tank) tank for about a month. I did the shrimp method, and my ammonia spiked to 4ppm. Everything seem on track. However, testing a few times I noticed my Nitrite...
I’m currently doing a fishless cycle. I’ve used turbo which is help a ton and moved the cycle a long tremendously. And now it seems like my ammonia is going down to around 0.5/0.25 in a 24 hour period which i think is pretty good. I dosed the tank with 2-3 ppm. As for my nitrites and nitrates...
Hello,
I'm currently on day 13 of Dr. Tim's cycle and have been following his schedule for starting my cycle. I've dosed his ammonium chloride on his designated days, and dosed my 200 gallon tank with his One and Only on day 1 and another day on day 10 after email dissuasions with his team. My...

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a 4 feet (100g) tank but we're having problems with our cycle. You can see my pics below!
To give context, here is our detailed timeline for your understanding. In blue are the key events that I did.
1. Day 1 - our DT came but there was a scratch on the...
Alrighty, so I have a 20gal tank I've been running for a little over a month. The cycle was started with instant ocean salt and Fritz turbo start. I put 2 goby's, a shrimp and 2 clowns in the tank to start the cycle after being encouraged by my LFS. 3 weeks into the cycle, the fish were removed...
I’ve been testing my tank everyday to monitor my cycle. Cycle has been going on for over a month now. My nitrites have continually been high right now for the past 3-4 days at 2-5ppm. My ammonia read 2.0ppm for a few days and has gone to 1ppm as of today but my nitrites are still sitting between...
Hi Everyone,
I have been cycling a 20 gallon Waterbox Cube with marco rock and live sand now for 5 weeks. I started this tank doing a fish less cycle with Dr. Tim's One and Only along with his ammonium chloride. After following his instructions and doing the ammonium chloride dosing, by day 4 I...
Hi all,
I just finished up week 6 of our cycle but am still detecting nitrites at around 1ppm (using salifert test kit. I have no ammonia, or very little, according to salifert ammonia test kit) but my nitrates have risen from 5ppm on August 5th to around 30-35ppm now. Nitrites have...
I have a 55 gallon reef tank. About 45lbs of dry rock added. 20 gallons in sump. Around 40lbs live sand. Ammonia is at 0ppm, nitrite is off the chart, nitrate is around 20ppm. Saw the ammonia spike and it went down. Now nitrite will not go down. I no that notoriety is not harmful unless in large...
