Well, my tank's been up and running for 10 days now. I don't know how, but my ammonia remained very low, never reaching above the 0.25 mark! Great news for little Vinnie no doubt. At first i thought my tank is never going to cycle because aren't you suppose to see ammonia levels rising, which mine wasn't doing at all. Then, to my surprise, i tested the water again yesterday, using my API Mater Test Kit (awesome!) that i bought at this shop in Hillfox -
Animal Kingdom. The results were as follows:
Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0.25
PH = 7.8
Nitrate = 0
Notice the nitrite now rising and the ammonia zero - this means my tank is CYCLING heeehaaa
. Don't know how i missed the ammonia spike or why, don't care either! :)
Gonna do a water change this weekend, for the first time, and then salt the tank for nitrite poisoning.
