[AngGuKueh]

Hi I been cycling fishless for 2 month ago and just check my water all normal except the nitrate is so high between 50 to 100 ppm (sera test kit exp. 03 2019)

What the problem ?

It s very normal bro.

No3 is the outcome of ur cycling.

So you need to do water change, or bio pellets, reef resh, carbon dosing. ...., many way to remove them.

do u run biopellet ?

wah no biopellet lei...I tot cycling would be jus as normal the nitrate should drop to 0ppm as there is nothing there.

I only got few pack of ceramic ring inside and sponge filter inside the overflow compartment...no rock and sand yet that all

It will drop to zero after about 2 years maybe? Then your bacteria of ammonia and nitrite would go back to zero... Then when you put livestock in, fishes will die cos there's no more bacteria to convert ammonia to nitrate to nitrate.

dose sugar or distilled vinegar as denifi bacteria require some form of hydrocarbon
