I am still waiting for my 20 gallon to cycle. It’s been about six weeks now. I have been doing water changes almost daily to keep the ammonia down. I started adding bottled B.B. I realized that adding the B.B. when I do water changes isn’t doing anything because it has come to my attention that dechlorination conditioners also get rid of the B.B. if addded within 24 hours, so today I didn’t do a water change and added two full capfuls of tetra concentrated bacteria.
My question is how often should I add the B.B.? I thought the cycle was starting a few days ago because I finally had a reading of nitrites but now the nitrites is back to zero.
If I knew a few months ago what I know now I would have done a fishless cycle first.
Should I stop doing daily water changes and just stick with adding the B.B.?
