Regular Member LisaCGold Posted May 28, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) I don't think you are starting over here just because you accidentally sucked some water out. The beneficial bacteria you are trying to grow are not so much in the water column, only their food source is in the water column. I'm not the fishless cycle expert here (fantailfan1 is quite good at this), but I suggest you test your ammonia levels. If below 4ppm then add ammonia until 4ppm. Then continue to wait. I assume you've read this: http://www.kokosgoldfish.invisionzone.com/forum/index.php?/topic/112965-fishless-cycle-instructions/ Edited May 28, 2015 by LisaCGold 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted May 29, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted May 29, 2015 You didn't restart your cycle. Please test your ammonia before adding any more and let us know what results you get. A fishless cycle started from scratch (without any cycled media) will take a good 6 weeks or longer. I wouldn't expect to see any difference yet . . . . PS Where are you in Michigan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member GoldenSpoiledRotten Posted May 29, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted May 29, 2015 Preuss? DO IT. Seriously. Oh, and shipping from Dandy Orandas when you get your first fish will be next to nothing. He lives just past Lansing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
