So you don't think any of the hitch hikers made it? I seen brisle worms, copods and other stuff on it. Don't I need those things to help maintain the tank?

Horray!!!! Ok. I took readings this morning. My ammonia is about the same. A little lighter than 1.0 but darker than .50. My nitrites are up to .25. The test tube changed from light blue to light purple!!! My nitrates are 5.0. Still don't know how they went up before the trites but it is...

ok. first I have to take some pics and then I will give it a try. can't promise anything real fast though? :notsure:

ok. Can you tell me how to post pics?

Ok here is the deal with my tank. Over the weekend I have been testing and this is what I have noticed. My ammonia still looks to be 1.0 but is a little lighter in color than what it has been. My trites are still 0 but the blue color is much more clearer (I guess you would call it) than what it...

ok I will look into it. Thanks :thinking:

ok. no no on the dragonets. thats alright. maybey once I get enough lr in the far future I might think of it

I seen that but this sight also said they accept live brine and worms. So this isn't a good idea?

I just seen the coolest little fish. The Mandarin Dragonet. I might think of one of those later down the road.

by the way jen. I just realized the date next to your wedding pic. Congrats newly wed.

I just heard someone talking that it prolonges cycle and also someone said it doesn't work at all. I can't see how it makes the cycle longer and if it doesn't work at all then 3 bucks down the drain and I have found in this hobby 3 isn't a whole lot. Heck that won't even get you a gallon of gas...

Ok! Thanks everybody for the help I heard that the cc star likes to be spot fed so I can feed him directly without fish stealing it from him.

I added nothing. Water and salt mix. Thats it. So you still think it might be my tests? Then why did my trates go up if I have no ammonia? Do you think getting another brand of tests would help?

I will try that first. It is funny because i was telling my husband that I was glad ammonia was already present in the tank because I would have to put dead shrimp in there to get it. He was realy grossed out about that thought. So the ammonia leval needs to be more than 1.0 to grow the...

Well i found some biozyme. I heard some people give negitive feed about it. Do you think I should give it a try?

So you guys don't think it is my tests? Someone told me that 1.0 is enough to start growing the bacteria I need. So You all think it needs to be higher? I have a75g tank. Does it make a difference if your tank is larger or smaller when it comes to cycle time. I still figured the ammonia would...

The test kit I have is by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals. If this helps any

I think I am going to just invest in a single ammonia test kit then if it reads different form mine I am going to get a whole new master test kit.

Do you think the test from this web sight are good?

I plan on having a fish only tank so I hope he will do alright.
