    On my screen looks like 0.5. What are your nitrites at?

    Nitrite & Nitrate are both at 0

    Just turned the skimmer back on after 2 days, and have been overfeeding the 2 chromises

    weird thing is i added 2 snails and the one keeps flipping itself over, but is still alive

    I came home tonight and the whole downstairs smells horrible lol

    I added a couple fish and did a heavy feeding. The ammonia must not be breaking down...

    Water change tomorrow?

    If you are not getting nitrates yet you are not cycled

    +1^^^ I know it's hard, but you need to slow down until your tank is fully cycled before adding livestock - you can do a water change but it's not going to help your cycle
