Enjoy your trip jayc! You’ll be missed.

Hi All, FYI. I will be away overseas for 2 weeks starting from the 2nd of Jan 2020. I'll check in if and when I can. But you are in good hands with Simon and Cesar.

LoL. yeah do that. Don't need to stink the whole house out.

This. But, did you use a whole prawn? Now that it is decomposing, you only need a small sliver for it to keep producing ammonia. Chuck the rest away.

Have a great time @jayc!

Thanks guys. If only I could bring back shrimp.

Have a good time! bring me back some shrimp! ?

Yeah... wayyyyy too late for that!

I hope you have a great trip/holiday! Simon

Aah yes thanks jayc! I’ve been using a chunk of raw fish. I’ll get rid of most of it ASAP. Cheers

Hey all, so at the moment I’m cycling the tank, and I’m using the ‘shrimp cycle’ method - using a piece of raw prawn or fish to produce the ammonia - and I don’t know when I should take it out... It smells super bad, and it’s in my room. So I don’t want it in the tank any longer than necessary. If I’m already seeing readings of ammonia can I take it out and let the beneficial bacteria handle it from there? Or do I have to wait until I start seeing the first readings of nitrates? Cheers! (Aaah it smells so bad in here HEEEELP MEEE!)
