Slightly confused...
- Thread starter NitroDempsey
- Start date
Try doing a 20% wc once a wk(if your levels start to get high use Night Out II) doing a wc everyday or every other day is almost certainly keeping your tank from fully cycling. I would recommend cutting back on your wc & tossing the ammonia remover in the trash and add more bio-media with large amount of surface area(the more bio media you have the better ammonia will be converted).
I know this is going to start a argument but, IMO unless your removing meds or a bad smell in the water carbon just takes up space in a filter that can be used for bio-media.
Like I said I.M.O.

That's an awesome tank! Do you think I should do a water change right now? With the levels I just posted?

It looks as though it is half way cycled ammonia is almost 0 and nitites are high. Get some night out to help finish the cycle

What is night out? Like a additive chemical? And is that a yes or no in the change? I don't want to wake up to dead fish lol

Yes it has bb otherwise your ammonia would most likely be extremely high.
Nite-Out II
Specially Formulated for Rapid Ammonia and Nitrite Reduction
Decreases Ammonia & Nitrite Toxicity
For SALT & FRESH WATER
Contains: Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobactor
MICROBE-LIFT/ Nite-Out II is designed specifically for aquarium waters that contain marine life. Its highly-specialized microbial consortium of nitrifying cultures are specially formulated to eliminate ammonia via a natural biological process termed nitrification. The cultures contain in MICROBE-LIFT/Nite-Out II will establish, promote or stabilize and maintain nitrification in aquarium waters, eliminating the toxic effect of ammonia. MICROBE-LIFT/Nite-Out II liquid nitrifying bacteria contains select strains of Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter. Nitrosomonas oxidize ammonia to nitrite and Nitrobacter and Nitrospira oxidize nitrite to nitrate.
