i added a pinch of fish food at like 1 pm and tested the ammonia with my kit at 4:30 pm and so far its green meaning 0 ammonia....Did i test it too early or does the food turn into ammonia rather quick? I also added stress zyme last night so maybe thats a reason as to why it reads 0? Thoughts? When can i add fish? I'm doing a fishless cycle btw.
the best thing you can do is a fish less cycle but use household ammonia not fish food beacause you don’t know what ppm your going to get here is a website : http://www.oscarfishlover.com/index.php/Cycled-tank/How-to-Cycle-an-Aquarium.html
do that and it shouldn’t take long or you also can use tank buddies sold at walmart petco/petsmart and don’t add stress enzyme because you destoyed the ammonia that was in the tank there sill be more just will take a will.hope i helped.
ammonia is something that builds up over time between un-eaten food and fish waste.
keep a clean tank, clear up the waste after the fish and do 10% water changes once a week and you should be all good.
sounds like someone is keen for some fish, ok get some liquid filter start. and test again in about a week you don’t need the light on to seed a tank .you have got the filter running 24/7 because this is a must. just a small query why add stress zyme with no fish because it is used to quieten fish down (removes stress) there is a clue in the title. hope this helps
