I'm telling you, I've used this much from this 64 oz bottle to keep my tank at 4-5ppm!!!! AND I STILL have tons if NitrItes.... JEEEZ!

Doesn't this seem like a bit much for a 125 gal? I swear though, I keep the level where it's supposed to be!


"Drops" my a$$ lol

oops.... almost forgot the picture... ROFL

Ammonia comes in different strengths, so you may have a weak mix there. The nitrIte portion of a cycle often takes the longest. Be patient and keep doing what you are doing.

mith ... I thought lady hobbs told you that once the nitrites appear, you want the level at 2-3 ppm, not 4-5 ppm, you will be cycling forever if you keep dosing it that high ...

ok, you may have resolved my problem. ive been maintaining 4-5ppm... my bad.

i have been observing that when the amonia level dissappeares, it gets cloudy!!!! When I bring the amonia level back up, it gets clear! Interesting huh?

Mith if your nitrites already appeared, you should bring that ammonia lvl down, unless you want to be cycling for a 2 months LOL
