For whatever reason I can't get my QT to cycle so I dont have to do such frequent water changes. Does cupramine make it not possible to cycle or is there something wrong with my methodology. I tried to cycle my QT twice now the same way I always do by dropping a piece of shrimp from the deli in and letting it decay for 2-3 days before taking it out in order to jump start the ammonia. Any ideas?
its a 20g tank with a heater, air bubbler, and a hang on the back aqueon filter with 2 bags of the bio media in it and a sponge. The tank itself has some PVC in it for areas that the fish can hide in/behind. It is becoming quite an annoyance that this tank wont cycle. I just added 3 anthias to the QT and after 2 days the ammonia is already starting to register.
