Hi, everyone,
I am a new member and joined to get some advice on water testing. I have two older Orandas in a 15 gallon tank and am trying to cycle the tank for about a month now. I have been doing 50% water changes every two days or so because the ammonia test strips starts reading 3 or so. I also dose with Prime, 1ml for every 1 part of ammonia.
I consistently get a 0.5 on Nitrites and 0.0 on nitrates.
Am I doing something wrong to keep the tank from cycling?
Thanks!
Zeeknos
