Need help for cycling please..


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, got a question to ask...

So I have a 34L oceanspace nano as I'm very into nano tanks. My tank has been cycling for 12 days so far... my mistake was to put a damsel in the tank during cycling as the LFS told me to do it (which I know now I shouldn't) and I can't remove it although I tried countless times. anyways, so after the 12 days of cycling, I tested the Nitrite No2 levels and it was SKY HIGH!!!! 3mg!!! I didn't test for ammonia

I'm using an iOS filtration with bio ceramic rings and live rock. I have refered to several charts which indicated that nitrite levels at 2 weeks of cycling indeed should be high before it starts to drop after 30 days. What should I do? Should I just continue the cycling process for 30-40 days and test again? Or should I do a water change?(which will actually slow down the cycling process) ??

Ps: my damsel seems fine. I feed it once in two days with very little food . Please help thx:)

Do not do water change during cycling, u might cause it to go into a mini cycling.... Instead add bacteria to help build up biomass. U can also introduce ammonia to help kickstart the cycling process.

Yes, we know, there's a cheaper and prettier fish than the one were talking about. - John Coppolino
