Tank still not cycled after 10 months

[Tom_p]

Hi there,

I have been trying to cycle my freshwater 90L aquarium for 10 months now, and its still not cycled! This is the first time I’ve ever cycled an aquarium so there must be something I’m doing very wrong and I’m hoping someone would be able to hep me out :) I am doing a fishless...

Hello Team,
I have recently bought myself a 5.5 gallon tank and planning on a betta in there.
I have started doing a fishless cycle with ammonia and seachem stability.
Day 1 , i had made sure that the ammonia is 2.5ppm and ph around 7.5 with temperature of 82F.
I have added ammonia...

Hello!! I am new to this forum and am very new to keeping fish. Weve had our betta since September 2019 and recently got a 15 gallon tank for him. We set up the new tank and cycled it before moving our betta over. He's been in the tank for a little over a week now and I've been testing the water...

I've been very happy with Seachem/Aquavitro products, with one exception: MultiTest Nitrite & Nitrate. I have never been able to obtain results that I could confidently interpret, using the provided color reference scale. When I first started cycling my tanks, I was using the MultiTest kit, but...

Hello! I previously had a 5gallon tank for about a month & a half w the tetra whisper pf10 filter and i began using stability about a month ago, when i realized i had ammonia and my tank wasn’t cycled. I switched to a 15 gallon fluval flex a week and a half ago and moved my filter media as...

Hi,
A little backstory:
I set up my 10 gallon aquarium last November, after having thoroughly cleaned it after a major GBA issue. I cleaned everything, even the filter, with tap water, which I recently found out has chloramine, to dissipate any GBA lingering. The only thing I didn't really...

Hi

I use Prime to do what changes, which I do on a regular basis. Have a 65G planted tank, Fluval LED, Insta CO2 supply and 18 fish in it, the biggest and potentially most dirty fishing being a Plec (small) and two Upside down Cats. I work away so the tank goes through 2 weeks of no water...

How do I cycle my 50-gallon fish tank using Prime/Stability? I did follow the instruction online about how to cycle but I have no luck for few days I started to see the presence of Nitrate which is 10ppm to 20ppm and my Ammonia is 0.50ppm 1.0ppm and Nitrite 0.50ppm 1.0ppm, I use 5 caps (5ml) overdose...

Hi, hoping for some help and didn't see this combination of issue in your questions. I've bee using various products to lower Nitrates and just realized I think all of them also remove tannins, which I have been adding to lower the pH. Do you have any products that do that? Or recommendations?

Day 1 : 0.5 ppm ammonia ( using api test kit )
0 nitrites and nitrate .
Day 2 : 1.0 ppm ammonia...

Hi Seachem Support,

I have 55 gallon tank currently housing softies, LPS & 4 fishes. It is DSB.

My feeding regime is heavy.

My latest measurement (16-02-2015) is 80 ppm of No3.

I am currently dosing Red Sea No3Po4x 6 ml daily and have been...

Hello,

I was wondering if Seachem can clarify a few things about Matrix. I have been investigating and some believe that Seachem Matrix is just cleaned sterilized Pumice. Is this true? If so do you add something to it so it denitrifies Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate? I would rather...

I have filled a phosban reactor with denitrate and tank water, then added stability. I let the reactor sit for 3 days then hooked it up to a pump. I set the flow rate to well below 50gph. The water coming out of the reactor was reading 5ppm nitrate, while the tank was reading 10ppm. Like an idiot I...

Hello,
My tank's always reading 0 ppm nitrate and I only recently started dosing Flourish Nitrogen at the amount required to raise Nitrate to 10 ppm. However, after 1 day and no water change, the tank went from 10 ppm to 0 ppm. I'm guessing this is a slap you in the face sign of nitrogen deficiency?...

[hierholzerm]

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone in the Seachem community and company! I had a huge Nitrate and Nitrite spike the beginning of last week and I had no idea how to deal with it. However, after reading posts on here about all of your experiences and the help Seachem provided you I can tell...
