terranova    Fish Master Posts: 1984 Kudos: 1889 Votes: 229 Registered: 09-Jul-2003 | You will know your cycle is complete when you see the ammonias and nitrIte rise, and then drop with an increase in nitrAtes. You will have to control the nitrAtes with water changes. They should keep the ammonia and nitrIte near undetectable as well, if you stock correctly. -Ferret -Formerly known as the Ferretfish  |

DarkRealm Overlord    Moderator metal-R-us Posts: 5962 Kudos: 2166 Registered: 23-Sep-2002  | parameters: If those are your current parameters then i would say that your cycle is done. You have no ammonia, no nitrite, and you have nitrate showing. |
