Well maybe since it came on so quickly it will finish quickly......here's to dreaming, LMAO!!
So it's been four days since I started the tank. 25gal tank, 45lbs LR. I've been reading up on other peoples cycling water parameters and I'm a bit...
Ok, I couldn't help myself. I tested the parameters anyway :P pH - 8.2 Ammonia - 0 Nitrate - 30(6.8N) Nitrite - .6 So, 3 days in, is this...
