Are you human?: trying my hardest
Location: NorthLake WA
Hey Zman...I have just been through the agonising daily ritual of testing and seeing no change and wondering what I am doing wrong and what changes I should make, and do I have enough filtration, and should I feed the fish etc etc during the cycling process...

I am no expert (only lost my cycling virginity last week!!!).
I am only running 10 silvers in a 1400L tank with about 280L of filtration and grow bed. I had readings of 5+ for nitrites for nearly 12 days. I ran 3ppt salt in the pond and did very minimal feeding. The silvers had no problems.

So as every body keeps saying hang in there mate
There is a cycling graph I made on my thread if you are interested.

HAHAH yes im waiting to see the purple rather the red.

My tank is currently 27.4 degrees, should i just leave it alone? Gold fish are happy swimming around eating the duck weed. Found another soft tail so another yabbie is dead :think: not happy but not sad either lol

Found another thing thats pretty interesting, grass hoppers can stand on water/swim :P

LOL ya cant find them, seems like they are gone. (now the silvers are only 7-8cms so probably couldnt fit a 2-3cm grass hopper in its mouth).

Also FT back down to 25 degrees. Hope it doesnt heat up too much today.
