I've cycled numerous tanks with fish in them without any problems, but am struggling with my 75 gallon axie tank. Through "circumstance" I ended up with 7 juvies all at once. I had a 40 gallon breeder that was almost completely cycled and them moved up to a 75 gallon. Kept all my substrates water and filter (added another filter as well). Well I keep getting stuck at unsafe nitrite levels and needing to change water frequently. Employee at LFS says this is prolonging my cycle. Finally I took everybody out in large Tupperware with clean water and hides, added heater cranked up and closed hood. Going to attempt to speed up cycle and finish fishless.
Ammonia- 0
Nitrites-2
Nitrate-3
I hear I need to "feed" tank with ammonia daily as it continues to cycle.
Any advice?
Thanks
