I setup my qt Saturday. I used 8g of dt water and put a new piece of filter floss in hob filter. I dosed microbacter7 but used the low nutrient amount which was 2 drops per gallon. The next day I tested it. Temp 77.9
Ph 8.4
Sg 1.025
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5
Ammonia 0.2
I also put a foam filter and a bag of ceramic bio media from dt in hob filter. Today I tested and everything was the same except Ammonia is at 0.8. So I dosed microbacter7 at the high nutrient dosed which is 4 drops per gallon. Do you think it is going to have to cycle a little while or now that I have bio media in there it will straighten out in a few days? I was wanting to put a fish in Friday.
