Message to people in this thread, there have been a few dumb asses jump I'm here and mention that I have had a cycle issue..let's discuss that:
1: this tank was set up and running BEFORE my cycle crashed and the stats were 0,0,0
2: my cycle crashed because my wife refilled my rainwater tank with town water and forgot to tell me,I then did a 70-80% water change with no prime.
3: cycle is slowly restarting.
4: terracotta does denitrify, I find that typically one large 3-4kg piece reduced nitrate by 5ppm
Lastly to the people who pounded this thread,I could understand you criticizing me if I had actually done something incorrectly, but your telling me in a bad fish keeper because my wife erroneously filled the tank with town water...how was she to know there was a difference she has zero interest in the fish...(be very careful before you entertain the idea of insulting towards my wife)
Water is water to her, the tank ran dry, she got it refilled and didn't say anything, why would she?
I did my water change with no prime as usual and bang...cycle collapsed, chlorine sterilized my bio media.
The world goes on, I will fix the cycle with the fish in the tank some how, and in future my wife will tell me if she emptied the tank and gets it refilled....
If I'm honest I think bderick67 who posted is just trolling, he has been hassling in the past and I think he saw an opportunity to be a troll and took it....enjoy life!
If your going to try and make a fool of someone get the facts straight first...
