Actually, Cycling a tank is an exact and very precise science. Yes, it can take different time frames for the Nitrogen Cycle to complete itself but it can still be tested along the way so you know exactly what is happening.
Setting up a tank and just running it without fish for a day, a […]
Certainly not wanting to steer you away from here, but I think I’ve told you before that Diane Walstad has her own “El-Natural” forum, or rather one that she moderates, all about Walstad tanks, where you might be able to get better info if we can’t come up with something that works. http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/el-natural/ Of […]
I have my GH and KH testing from my tap, but I didn’t do them with a baseline test, I assume that as the water sits the GH and KH will be used up slowly and the pH drops? Am I correct?

Yes, if you did daily PWC’s, your tank would slowly get closer to your tap water parameters but without knowing what they are, you would never know what to compare your tank to, to even know if they reached similar parameters.
As far as “a decent amount”, I guess any amount would help if you have […]
Did you ever do your tap water baseline testing? What were the numbers right out the tap, at 24 hours and 48 hours? Mainly the pH, GH and KH but also the others, if noteworthy.
What percentage of the 1/4 full bucket is crushed coral, as opposed to the amount of crushed coral that […]
I didn’t do the baseline testing, I forgot about it, ugh. I can empty the bucket and start a baseline testing though. I just put crushed coral in the bucket I didn’t measure how much I would need for the 125 gallon or any other tanks, I’m not really sure how much […]
I have a bucket filled about a 1/4 of the way with crushed coral and the rest of it with water. I have been doing daily pH testing to see what the pH averages out to, so far each day has tested somewhere close to 7.6. If I were to add crushed […]

From personal experience if a box says “Perishable” I do NOT leave them in the sun when I leave them at houses, and if there is no shade I don’t like leaving the box at all, I often will stick it under a bush or a plant near the door and […]
