A few question give or take a few fish smaller amount cycling?
After my tank has been cycled lacking fish, do i need to do a water change? I hang on to getting different answers.
Also, after it is cycled do I just had a few fish each week?
with my tank which i only set up 3 weeks ago i wondered whether because it was 100g would it take longer, but i added some bactozym its like a tablet and see starts the bacteria as if fish were surrounded by there and you can add fish 24 hours after putting the tablets in.
i would change about 10% of dampen,prior to adding your first fish.you should only add a couple of fish respectively week.stock slowly,be patient and you will have fewer problems subsequent on.stock too quickly and bacteria in the filter may not know how to cope.never rush things.
Answers: When you enjoy finished doing a fishless cycle you will probably have a high nitrate reading, all the ammonia you dumped surrounded by will have been converted to nitrate by the cycle. Exactly how much depends on how long it took for the cycle to settle down.
If the nitrate is under just about 30ppm, then you dont need to do a water alteration. If it's over that, do a water change thats big enough to receive the reading below 30. For example, if the reading is 60, do a 50% water change.
The hose change will NOT harm the cycle, and even a large one cant spoil your fish, as they aren't in the tank yet. It's the filter you have cycled, not the water, you could change 100% of the sea and the tank will still be cycled.
If you have done a full fishless cycle your tank should be safe and sound for a good number of fish, I would still add them in several stages merely to be safe, but you can do it much quicker than in an uncycled tank. Although you enjoy a cycle in your tank, you dont know if it exaclty match the number of fish you are adding.

no sea change and when its cycled then you get to of late add as manyy fish as you can for a tank your size remember that 1 inch per gallon
