1st week i lieave it running without making it go faster
2nd week then we go to the lfs and they suggest artificial bacteria to get things started so i went home turned off filter and opened it but the water kept coming it wouldnt stop.after 1 small flood. i start the cycle again with new bacteria.

| Re: my new tank if you buy store brand ammonia that is 100% no additives .when you start your new tank and a few drops a days ,pending how big of a tank,until u start getting a ammonia reading on ur test kit then start adding your bacteria to your tank,after the bacteria has taking place on use half the ammonia drops until u start getting a nitrate reading,stop ammonia do a water change 20%-30% and now ur tank is ready 3-5days.... |
