After much researching I decided I would try out fishless cycling in my new aqua one 980t 240L. Have just used cloudy ammonia from countdown. Asked a man working there if it contains anything but water and ammonia. He advised no. Still not convinced so have emailed countdown and am waiting for reply. If it turns out it has additives I will cross that bridge then... Day 1 started adding ammonia until 4ppm. nitrites 0ppm. nitrates 0ppm. ph 8.2 Kept adding ammonia daily to keep at 4ppm. Day 5 tested for Nitrites.. 5ppm. Ammonia 3ppm. Day 6 ammonia 3ppm, nitrites off the chart. Day 7 ammonia 1ppm, nitrites off the chart Day 8 ammonia 1ppm, nitrites off the chart Day 9 ammonia 1ppm nitrites still off the chart. tested for nitrates.. 5ppm Seems to be going ok so far. Just gotta have patience..

Unfortunately I am not. Will have look into it. Thanks Caryl

Thanks for that will keep an eye on it. Also how do you know the difference between a nipped fin and fin rot?

Hi there everyone, this is a really great forum and am glad to be a part of it

Hey there, Just bought a kribensis and he has a tiny raised grey spot on him. Doesn't look cotton wool like or like any sort of parasite... Any thoughts?
