OMG what is up with this?
On a past post I mentioned that I've had my 20 gallon QT/HT up and running since April with two big damsels in there and all I had to show for it was .25ppm ammonia and no 'ates or 'ites. Now I have NO ammonia NO nitrite NO nitrate! and I HAVE NOT been doing any water changes. I know alot of people would WANT those levels, but it seems funny to have no 'ates in a FO tank with just a UGF and Whisper2 when it's WAY overdue for a water change! This makes nada sense. I mean LR or anything to make it cycle so fast I wouldn't notice it, and plus not very good filtration so there should be a small amount of 'ates. All my test kits are good, none are expired, or ruined w/ water, or anything.
I'm thinking of going to the LFS and getting a Bio-booster bottle, but shouldn't it've cycled naturally? Am I missing anything? What's going on? Thanx in advance, Jean
