I've had my 75g setup for three weeks now and have been letting it cycle but my ammonia hasn't dropped yet. It's at 0.25ppm and I know you're supposed to wait till it's completely at 0. The Nitrites and Nitrates are both at 0, pH is at 7.6, and I do a 10 gallon water change every 3 or 4 days. Right now I have a 2in fire mouth and 5in pleco that have been in there since day one because I moved. I'm waiting to get an oscar but this ammonia won't drop. Any advice on what to do?

marineland penguin 350. I have a penguin 150 laying around that i can add as well if you think it will help.
Hi put some drift wood to bring the ph down.Something must be wrong with your filteration.Make double check.Make sure the flow is correct.Best of luck
Could still be cycling, it can take awhile to finish. Got any other tanks? If so get some gravel or spare some media and add it to the 75g.
How are the firemouth and pleco doing?
How are the firemouth and pleco doing?
Yes. I was kind of forced to. I just moved 100 miles away to college. I have a 2in fire mouth and a 5in pleco.chrisk;2779091; said:
Both are doing fine. The firemouth lost a little coloration on the move and still hasn't gotten it all back, but other than that they are both lively and eating.ProblEmZ;2779112; said:
