DAY 8 CYCLING FIRST TIME USING DR TIMS

Something is off if ammonia is rising. Fact is that when using bacterial products I don’t even register ammonia except first few days unless I stress test the tank by upping the dosage of ammonium chloride.

Ammonia finally went down to 0 now I’m just waiting for Nitrites to hit 0. I’ll then add a little ammonia to see if it’ll hit 0 in 24 hours and I’m done

Trying not to get impatient but nitrite hasn’t gone down at all. Even did a 15% water change and still nothing. 0 ammonia though

What’s your reading on Nitrite?

We’re live ladies and gents. Everything hit zero and I have two juvenile clown fish in there now

Now where I need help lol. They ate today for now I’m doing pellets. But some of the pellets got into the back chambers. Should I be turning off the filter as well when I feed? I turned off the power head but not the filter. Or should I be scooping it before it makes it there not sure?
