T11mog Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I just checked my nitrites and theier at .25 with my ammoina already at 0..should i be worried about ne more spikes? Link to comment
Physh1 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Wow...that is mighty uninformative. How long has the tank been up and have you been testing regularly to graph out the spikes you've had? Cameron Link to comment
birdman204 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 LOL. I think he was going off another thread I posted in. Keep checking. Once everything levels out, wait at least a week before adding livestock to make sure it's stable. Link to comment
T11mog Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 well when it goes to zero ill just be adding live sand Link to comment
Physh1 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Depending on what live sand you add it may cycle again..... If you buying the live sand in prebagged at your LFS it will be cool but if your ordering real live sand from a mail order place than it may need to cycle when it goes in. Cameron Link to comment
JohnnyMTB Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 You may get a small second cycle from any die-off in your live sand, I would monitor for that after you add it and allow a week after readings stabilize for livestock introduction. Link to comment
