Hawaiian Opae Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I am in my fifth week of a fishless cycle with ADA Amazonia. If I do not put my shrimp in when the cycle is done (ammonia at zero). How do I keep the cycle going until shrimp arrive. Should I use snails or just phantom feed a little to keep it going another week or so. Any feed back would be appreciated. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

shamedic Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 what I did was get a few feeder fish for 20 cents each and then took them back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
