pjtech Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I did a few searches and could not find a thread that showed the perfect test results. I am in the cycle stage so when do I know its done? I am testing pH, Ammonia, NO2, NO3? Results currently are NO2 0 NO3 10 pH 8.2 Ammonia .25 Thanks all Patjs Link to comment
NanoBound Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 When your ammonia and nitrites read 0. After that,you will always have some kind of nitrate readings. Nitrates are lowered by your weekly water changes. Once your ammonia and nitrites are at 0, you can then begin to very slowly stock your tank. It is best to wait a week or 2 after the cycle has finished in order to assure it has done so. Link to comment
Physh1 Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Word! Your amm and trites need to both be at zero before your tank can be called cycled. Cameron Link to comment
