Hi,
I started my QT on the 21 september, running for a week now. It's my first tank and my QT has well. I will follow lee's method but I had a question concerning the cycle. I started my cycle with a full shrimp. My ammoniac rose to 2 in the first 2-3 day so I remove it.
Now my question is: When the cycle will be finish I will have enough bacteria for 2 of ammoniac but if my fish only create let say .25 of ammoniac, all these bateria will die in the period of 2 months of quarantine right ?
What happen if I want to had a bigger first afterward ? Will I have to put a small shrimp piece to raise these bateria ?
My QT is a 20G with a little Hang-On filter, skimmer, heater.
Thank you
