I have been cycling a 10 gallon tank for nearly a month now. I have seen the ammonia spike to 8.0+, the nitrites rise then fall, the nitrates rise to 80. Did a water change, which lowered nitrates to 10-20, nitrites are .25, but ammonia is STILL off the chart! Has this happened [...]
when we change the water can I use softened water?
I have a 75 gal. tank, and I’m having a hard time with the PH So I am going to try Cichlids. Plus I am an over the road truckdriver. How will this affect having this type tank?
