Cycle done. What now ?

Young Frankenstein · 05/02/2007, 06:24 PM

My tank just finished the cycle, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 0 phosphates, do I add the salt now ?

You didnt add the salt before cycling ?????

Sounds like your next xtep is to get a nice book.

Aren't you supposed to cycle with salt water?

ya go to the local grocery store and get the "cheap" salt its better it has more magnesium in it. Is it up to temp? If not pick up some of those burning cans that they use for buffets they work great under the tank to heat it up.

good luck

Ya but don't ask him now, will probably tell you to stick your finger in the 220 plug then test the wiring to see if it sparks to check for any flaws in the flux capacitor.

I think you need to go with something a little lighter than miller light, try some vodka. No calories, no carbs, just pure drunk. That or Everclear, can even use it in your gas tank if you run out.
