Would value your opinions....
I am setting up a new home for my Aro and KKP
6x2x2.5ft tank with 5 ft sump w/d filter
Had everything set up with bioballs and matala mats
Put in an old dirty cotton wool from a running filter (squeezed the gunk into tank)
Used Seachem stability as per instructions
Put in 9 small goldfish and fed them every day
Param
pH 7.6
Temp 29deg C
I checked my param 3 days (for the first time) after starting and found
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0.2
Nitrate 5
3 days later
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10
2 days later
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10
I cannot believe that i have cycled in 8 days...........but the fish are ok
what do you guys think? First time i have used stability so no idea if this really mucks up the results?
All opinions welcome
