Hi guys!
So ive been reading stuff on fishless cycling and there are familiar trends... but i just want to run you guys through things so i can make sure im doing things correctly!!
So... 180L tank. Fluval 406 with trays rammed with Biohome (2.5kg)
Ive got the temperature set at 28°C.
Ada amazonia is the substrate which is leeching ammonia enormously. My ammonia and nitrate readings are through the roof. Im going to do a water change this thursday (90%) as the tank will have been running for a week.
I was just going to leave things for 4 weeks. I was going to plant in about 3 weeks after ive got my CO2 system setup.
Erm... am i doing things correctly??
Thank you!!
