To all: have 11days into cycle. Checking water: high pH (8.5-9.0)
Temp 77.8-78.8
Ammonia: 8.0 ppm or higher for 2 days
Nitrite: 0. (didn't see need to check for nitrate as Ammonia high & no nitrite)
Am using SeaChem prime2caps 1st day & 1cap last 2 days
I know it hasn't cycled because of values above. Am getting active bio-sponge filter also.
Should I be thinking about a water change? Or should I use Bio-filter & keep checking values first?
