Hi there,
I just went through my nitrogen cycle.... My ammonia already peaked and dropped down as my nitrite peaked and dropped down too.... it took about a week for my ammonia to drop to 0.25 and two weeks for my nitrite to drop to 0.25ppm. I have been doing daily water changes of 50% for the past 17 days and only recently dropped it to once in 2 days. I am also using RO water. But now am noticing a bacterial bloom. I don't know what's going on.
My tank is 200 gallons. I use a 4 layer 4 column trickle box filter w/ 100L/min pump, Hydra 50 , 35W UV pump in my tank.
Anything am doing wrong?
