I haven't watched this particular video.

This might help answer some of your skimmer questions. They have a whole series of great videos.

A great place to start for the skimmer.

Is there something I can get the cycle time to be faster

Is there something I can get the cycle time to be faster

Look for a bacteria in a bottle product like Dr Tims one and only.

 

[GBRsouth]

The more bacteria introduced the faster you will cycle.

 

[Cody dean]

Gbrsouth thank u how long u thank it could take with it

 

[Cody dean]

Ok I see

 

[GBRsouth]

It varies from cycling almost immediately to a few weeks from what I have read about that one. Haven't used it myself. I've always justletit cycle without adding bacteria myself.

It will vary due to things like temperature and ammonia levels among other things.

 

[Cody dean]

Ok I'm doing it with out adding it my self what should my ammonia reading be at the beging of cycle is it 2 ppm our higher

Welcome to R2R Cody, we’re happy your here.

Ok I'm doing it with out adding it my self what should my ammonia reading be at the beging of cycle is it 2 ppm our higher

2ppm is a good level per day. Higher can be toxic to the bacteria.

 

[GBRsouth]

Also, without adding bacteria in a bottle, just be aware that the cycle could take between 1 to 2 months. It's a cost versus time decision for you.
