Oh oops. That was exactly my thought. I didn't see that you pointed it out already.

@cmcoker you said your qt didn't cycle but the tank already go through Nitrite? ???? And the tank already 3 months. It can't stay at nitrite forever.

This young gentleman is 15. I think we are confusing him. I know I'm confused. Maybe start another thread to debate the issue?

That pretty much sums it up perfectly.

I know your guy are good guy and trying to help other hobbies and I am too. The reason I upset is you guys try attacks me with redicoulus things as QT never cycle, or bacteria doesn't has in saltwater without any prove. When i put the link up to prove then other person put the picture with DON'T TRUST INTERNET. ..hahahaha. That is not nice at all. At least I show the link to you to read, better than you just say you're right only.

@tthouston I am going to ask you very nicely not to post any further replies to this thread.

If you wish to open a discussion about bacteria in water, please start your own thread about that topic.

This thread needs to get back to helping @r.bergonia19.

@ikegolani, just for clarification, bacteria is most certainly present in the water column! Advanced aquarist had a really nice paper on this that you can still easily search and find. I can't remember the exact numbers but I'm thinking it was around 20% of denitrifying bacteria was water column! I see post very frequently stating its only on rocks, sand, etc!

I apologize for not providing a reference, but from the research I have gone over the bacteria in the water column is irrelevant. It is the residual of the colony that comes from surface a area.
