It's Almost Over!!!

[cajamajo]

Is my cycle is almost over? :notsure:
It has been 3 weeks, ammonia, trites, trates all spiked high, and came down.
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Ph 8.0
Nitrates 20

its over, do a water change, buff your pH possibly

 

[cajamajo]

I can't believe it. It is done

will 20% be enough

 

[saltn00b]

probably fine, the purpose of the water change is to get your nitrates out of the water because you have nothing, or barely anything that will break down trates in the tank.

IMO your PH is fine. Do not buffer unless you check your alk and calcium they all go hand in hand.

 

[saltn00b]

just keep an eye it doesnt drop further than 8

 

[cajamajo]

Great. Im like a litte kid.....excited

A pH of 8.0 is only fine if the alkalinity or calcium are where they should be. If you are not testing these levels, I would definitely start just to ensure that you do not have pH issues on the horizon.

agreed, hey lion how about them steelers?
