Title: Cycled Pond?


Leema - March 15, 2006 12:15 PM (GMT)
My pond cycled within the last week. Because I had some pots release ammonia in the pond, the ammonia levels got to 6.1! :o And now they're all gone... I don't have a nitrite test kit - how long would've the pond taken to cycle taken? There was two weeks between testing 6.1 and 0...

Seeing I had such high levels of ammonia (that was the highest reading my kit would provide, but I think it was a lot higher), would it be safe to add a large number of fish at the same time? (I want to put 10 white clouds, 3 goldfish and 7 hillstream loaches.)

I added 2 danios and 2 white clouds yesterday. :)

Post some pictures if you can take good ones of your pond.

Well... I gave into temptation. I went and got 10 white clouds (but ended up with 11) and 3 fantails... I'll put pics in the photo album. :)
