Newbie here from Greensboro! Hello everyone! Excited about my new hobby. As with a lot of people, I'm on a tight budget. I'm currently cycling from an IBC fish tank into two IBC top grow beds, draining into a sump with a pump. CHOP, CHIFT PIST.. whatever you want to call it. I've been cycling for about 3 weeks and starting to see a little bit of algae. I did try to jump start things with about 5 gallons of water from a stocked pond. Currently my water tests are showing up like this.. Am I about ready to order some fish??? Thanks in advance! Joe

Ideally your nitrites and ammonia should be zero before adding fish. 3 weeks is not long enough to consider yourself cycled. When people get cycled in 4 weeks, they are very lucky. |
