Re: Cycling question

When the ammonia level rises, nitrites will then begin to rise, processing the ammonia, followed by nitra...

Remember the day ya'll came to store and were discussing your problems with your tank and I was going over the water changes and importance of them etc. At that time you and Dad where telling me how he does nothing and a...

Re: Sponge filter question

Jami, not sure where the heater question came. I never said anything about heat. Just so you know, warm water holds less O2 than cold so that will exacerbate the loss of oxygen from the water along with the H2S. Too me it sounds like your tank wasn't properly cycled or finished cycling yet and you ...
