    Question for you - 55 gal tank has been up 5 months, no measurable bacteria

    Thanks all! We have been hesitant to add more fish since we've not seen evidence of the bacteria cycle with the test kit but I suppose if it's not broke, we'll not worry about it.

    Question for you - 55 gal tank has been up 5 months, no measurable bacteria

    He's been changing out the filter media every other water change. We're just scratching our heads here, wondering what we are missing. I'll look into the links posted, thank you for the info. As for the test kits, I think I bought them when I started up my 75 about 2-3 yrs ago. I use the same...

    Question for you - 55 gal tank has been up 5 months, no measurable bacteria

    He's been stretching the water changes out to about once every 6 weeks, 25% change. At first he was changing water more frequently but with the low number of fish and no measureable bacteria he backed off hoping to see the tank cycle.

    Question for you - 55 gal tank has been up 5 months, no measurable bacteria

    My husband has a 55 gal tank that's been set up about seven months. The tank currently has 6 neon tetras, 2 angel fish, and 4 corys. He added these fish slowly and kept a close eye on water parameters but has never had any ammonia, nitrite or nitrate show when he tested the water. The tank has a...

    Renewed enthusiasm for the hobby

    Hello all! I've had tanks off and on for the last 15yrs. My latest adventure started about two years ago with a 55 gal Yellow Lab and Demasoni tank. I recently got a 75 gal tank and transferred the Labs and Dems into it, then added Yellow Tail Acei. Once my old 55 was empty hubby decided he...
