JamieLikesPlants Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) Been fishless cycling my tank for almost 5 weeks, the last 4 days I have added 1ppm of ammonia, and within 24 hours it has been converted to nitrite and then into nitrate. I currently have 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrite and about 40-50ppm nitrate, this is less than 20 hours after last dose. Am I ready for fish? And should I do a big water change first to remove the nitrate? Edited May 1 by JamieLikesPlants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllFishNoBrakes Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Sounds like you’re ready! Personally, I would do a 50% water change to get your nitrates in the 20-25ppm range and throw some fish in there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
