So I know the basics of the nitrogen cycle but if nitrates are present is the tank cycled? Right now my tank parameters are
pH= 6.8
KH= 120
GH= 150
NO2- = 0
NO3- = 20
Note: I only have test strips so don't take those as a exact measurement
Yeah I have no way of testing for ammonia. Is the master kit still on sale?your cycle is complete if it can process the set level of ammonia and the nitrites after it within 24 hours. nitrates don't always mean a complete cycle. i'd highly recommend getting an apI master test kit or some sort of ammonia tester if you don't already.
yep! $15 on amazon. almost everyone here on this site will agree it will help you greatly in the long run.Yeah I have no way of testing for ammonia. Is the master kit still on sale?
Is it a better deal with the $15 on amazon or the $17 on drsfosterandsmith + a 20% coupon?yep! $15 on amazon. almost everyone here on this site will agree it will help you greatly in the long run.
17 x 20% = 3.4, which you end up with $13.60. you save a little bit using the couponIs it a better deal with the $15 on amazon or the $17 on drsfosterandsmith + a 20% coupon?
I had no idea that the latter was online. I thought it was some sort of local store. i've never heard of it regardless, lol. my mistake.Shipping is $7 if you don’t spend $19. So amazon would be your best choice, especially if you have Prime, it’s free shipping.
Are you also using their liquid fert? If so, then any root tab will work. Personally, I use the osmocote root tabs.Ok thanks. What are the best root tabs? I can't find the nilocg ones on amazon.
I am not using any right now. I want to buy the nilocg root tabs because they were recommended to me by someone else. I can't find them on amazon though.Are you also using their liquid fert? If so, then any root tab will work. Personally, I use the osmocote root tabs.
Just checked amazon, and It also seems Nilocg came out with a new root tab? “Thrive caps” -Mak- have you heard of them? Apparently its dry ferts, clay and mineralized top soil mixed together. (unless he’s always had them and i’m behind lol)
Yeah, they're newer than Thrive but they've been around for about a year now. Haven't used them but the nutrient analysis looks goodAre you also using their liquid fert? If so, then any root tab will work. Personally, I use the osmocote root tabs.

You can order any Nilocg product directly from nilocgI am not using any right now. I want to buy the nilocg root tabs because they were recommended to me by someone else. I can't find them on amazon though.
They’re on amazon. They’re labeled under “NA ThriveCaps” $16. I don't think he sells his older root tabs anymore.I am not using any right now. I want to buy the nilocg root tabs because they were recommended to me by someone else. I can't find them on amazon though.
