well ammonia, nitrate and nitrite are nitrogens and in the freshwaterfish trade are "the nitrogens" sorry for the confusing termonalogy. but my ammonia is 0. and yes the tank is well cycled and i have a eheim pro 3 thermal filter on there is aprox 3lbs of biomax in it.
having zero nitrogens indicates not cycled. You gotta see a lil nitrate at least, especially with a big fish small tank. is he still alive?
lol well the reason i have 0 nitrogens is bc i have the pest canister on the market and i also just did a water change pluss my plants i mean my tank is a nitrogen destroyer i barly ever have any readings even if i go a month or more before a water change
Leav all the "nitrogens" stuff. Nobody here noes anything like that, you either call it ammonia, nitrate or nitrite. If you have all of this zero, surely, tank is not cycled. or if the nitrate has gone to zero after the cycling, then its ok and good.
As J Lake said, you have to get positive readings for nitrates, wotsoever. And surely, if u hav zero nitrate, the tank is 100% not cycled. whichever best canister, if you dont find any value for nitrates, there is no use. better keep the canister off for some days till the nitrate shows up.
