11 Day of Cycling

Started to put in my zaires one per day when I detected 0 readings of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate on the 7th day of cycling. Last night ammonia has gone up to 0.5ppm again, probably due to the higher bioload that the fronts are releasing as compared to the rosy barbs. Have since given them away.

Am a little concern with putting more fronts into the tank. The bio-spira which I ordered online is still not here. Was expecting it to arrive within 4-6 days but it's already 8 days and still no sign..sigh...

It's a public holiday tomorrow and I am planning to collect all the tropheus and cyprichromis leptosoma fries. The owner has graciously kept it for me for 3 weeks.
