Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Another question for all you who have been around AP's for awhile - my ammonia has been zero for awhile now, nitrates also zero and nitrates that were around 60/80 ppm are now zero as well, plants looking healthy so does this mean my system is cycling as it should, nothing has changed except levels since I last tested approx a week and a half ago (had to get out of the habit if testing everytime I turned around!!)

Always something to worry about, even if it is AP itis!!

Hiya..

IF the ammonia has been zero for a while, nitrites Zero....
& Nitrates have gone from 60-80 to zero..

Then yes it sounds like it has cycled..

One point thou if the system has zero nitrates, then the plants are consuming all the nitrates and you might want to increase the feed to the fish.. Just a Little bit..

I'm not sure what the other will say, but a little bit more nitrate for the system, to make sure the plants have more food..
