Ok, this may be a stupid question. I am cycling a tank fishless for the first time. The ammonia is reading 2.0 I know this is a good sign, but do I have to do a water change or just leave it?

Hi heidi...how are you cycleing it? with food? bio-spira? etc

Heidi125

Hi Shawnie,
I am cycling with food.

Hi, No water changes during the cycle.
If you do a water change, you will be removing some of the ammonia you need for the cycle.
great your doing a fishless cycle!

nice job with the fishless cycle
dont worry about a water change until the cycle is over

OK thanks, this is my first time cycling fishless.

It's good that you do the fishless cycle method. Since it's fishless, water changes should not be worried about until you finish the cycle. Then you'll just change the water before adding fishes in. Good luck to your tank!

Enjoy this time now, because as soon as fish are there water changes are a constant!
