hi,
i got the first half of my 15 gallon package on tuesday.. ive seen lots of life come out since then. and its great looking rock.
however, my ammonia still reads as .25 and my nitrites are stuck around 1. ive done 3 15% water changes every other day.. its in a 30 gallon tank, so im probably changing out 4 gallons or so every other day.
im not noticing the levels drop at all.. nor are they climbing? one time when i cylced my 75 gallon freshwater, it seemed like the levels both went down to 0 overnight one time and tada! the cycle was complete..
im just wondering here, though.. since the levels seem stable.
perhaps i need to do a 25% water change.. i think anything over that percentage is too much of a fluctuation for the inhabitants..
lemme know what you think...
