Im suspecting that my denitrifying bacteria is converting nitrite to nitrate faster than my nitrifying bacteria? My ammonia levels are always 0.5 to 1 ppm and sometimes i can see a reading of 0.25 ppm nitrate but after a few hours the reading drops back to 0 ppm but the ammonia still remains high . How is this possible Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Recently i bought a bottle of fritz zyme 9 and added the stated amount into my cycling tank . I did a ammonia test after 24 hours . But what i notice is that the ammonia level is stuck at the range of 0.25 to 0.5 , same as before adding the bacteria in . I thought the bacteria is suppose to eliminate the ammonia? Im new to the hobby so i dont really know how long it will take or if its even working.. the instructions stated that it is safe to instantly add fish to the tank? Im wondering if this means if i use this bottle of bacteria , i have to add a hardy fish to do a fish-in cycle? Im so confused right now [emoji24] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

My current reading is 1ppm of ammonia , 0 nitrite and 0 nitrate , my ph is 7.2 .. ive been cycling for a week already . Shouldnt the nitrite level go up? I have added bottled nitrifying bacteria and added a piece of dead fish Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Im just wondering why theres a rise in nitrite yesterday when i tested it and it suddenly dropped back to 0 ppm when i tested it today Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Please do take note that my current nitrate reading is 0 . The only thing that seems to be dropping is my ammonia , my nitrite levels isnt rising either Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi i have been cycling my tank for a week now, yesterday i tested the water and the nitrite reading was 0.25 ppm but suddenly today it was back to 0 again , i have tested for my nitrate level also and its 0 . Im curious why did the nitrite level dropped? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I have not added any corals of fish yet but so far the water flow does not seem so bad .. im just afraid it will tear apart my corals when i add them in, any suggestions? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Im running a 2000L/h wavemaker in a 6 gallon tank . Im intending to keep basic corals such as mushrooms , polyps and zoas. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi i have used tap water for my new tank and its currently cycling for 4 days already . I have added salt and anti chlorine to it . Just wondering if its okay to use tap water instead of rodi water? I find the rodi unit abit expensive for me and i really need someone to advise me on what i should do now.. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Does anyone know where do i get these ? And how much does it usually cost? Do i have to manually setup the thing myself? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
