So here I am on Day 8 of my Fishless cycle and I have seen the Ammonia drop from 6ppm to about 2 ppm in just over a week. I found a box of the Fluval Clearmax i purchased along with the two FX 6s and got to reading and Jaw dropped when i got to the part about how it removes nitrites and nitrates from the water.
So for someone who has been waiting for nitrites and nitrates you could imagine how disappointed I was. I removed the Clear max from both filters and now will be waiting to see if nitrites become present this week.
I should probably read a bit more about the products I purchase so next time I won't waste money and time on trying to cycle the tank. Lesson learned I guess.
Does the stuff even work that well anyway ???
