Hiya everyone,
I am carrying on with my cycle with fish and I think it's going on ok but justy want to check. I have slowly managed to get the ammonia level up to about 4, and have got a nitrite of 0.5. I have had a nitrite reading for most of the cycle.
What I am wondering is, when the nitrite goes up, do I then have to take out some of the rotten prawns and fish food out of the tank, and if so how do I guesstimate how to take out? I am worried that if I take out too much it will cock up the cycle, and if I leave too much in will it mean that the bacteria wont catch up with it - does that make any sense?
Any help out there please?
