It's so nice to see this step by step! I just bought this and sometimes it's difficult to follow written directions. Now I just have to wait for my tank to arrive! Thanks for this video!

super helpful vid, thank you!! it’s tough to find in depth day-by-day updates for beginner cycling so seeing how all the levels develop is great info

That was awesome 👏 Thanks for going into so much detail, very helpful.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Great video! Very informative and helpful as I am in the middle of doing my fishless cycle right now.

SUPER helpful video!!! Many Thanks for sharing! Keep up the great content!

Thank you for sharing your experience. That was a real fast cycle. I just ordered some Dr Tims 🐠

This was super helpful! Thank you for the video and explanation!! Happy reefing!

Great video, thank you. That purple rock scape looks amazing

Great video! Thank you so much for your work!

Thanks for this video, it is super helpful and informative

This was a great informative video thank you!!

This was amazing. Thank you

Awesome video ! It was super helpful! :)

Is that caribsea life rock ? And how many pounds ?

I love using Dr. Tims. Tanks cycle so fast too. Awesome documentary!

This helped A LOT THANK YOU so much now so know how to do this!

Great Video!

great video! thank you :)

Very helpful thanks

Thank you very much for a beautiful video which inspiring me I watch three times!! I’m cycling tank now my results almost the same as yours I am at day 11 and my ammonia is2 ppm no nitrites and nitrates it’s very high my question is should I wait it out or do a water change thank you very much

Awesome video hermana

Love youre rock layout

day 9 add fish? the tank has 1.0ppm of ammonia, nitrite 1.0ppm and sky high 160ppm nitrate. That would kill most fish. Least you were smart enough to wait it out and then do a water change

Great video! Did you use tap water and Dr. Tim's First Defense like the guide says?

could you give us an update on that tank after so many months now? did you get a algae bloom after you turned the lights on still? did you have any more spikes in ammonia or nitrite after adding the fish/corals? Great video though, thanks.

Absolutely a beautiful and informative journey towards having a safe/beautiful tank. My only and only thought on this process was...She added a lil too much Amonia which extended the cycling process for such a small tank, but again...the results are amazing. Well done

Niceee lov this video thankssss

Wow.. Dosing ammonia is much quicker than doing fish food! I am currently on 14th day cycle and still no Nitrites and ammonia is 1-2ppm. Good job!

This is the best video out there to use this type of liquids/bacteria in a bottle. I've used almost all of the brands and they all have a similar effect. However I don't use them. I prefer after a few days I add hardy plants or corals or algae depending on the aquarium. And I leave it like that for months and then I add some fish or invertebrate. So, good job! 😊👍

What light is this?

What time did you test every time

thank you for this video, this mean a lot to me, i'm using dr tim ammonium. chloride too, this is my first day. im gonna subs to your channel.

Hello my. I have been watching your video again again and again. Because I am doing the same. Day 6 and my amonia still 2.0. Two questions for you. Did you turn on your skimmer after 48 hours starting the ciclo??

How come I follow this exact same thing and I get totally different numbers? The ammonia get processed very quickly. But I get huge nitrite levels and little to no nitrates… it’s been a month now…

I made mistake, light on when cycling, my sand full brown algae, and "hair". What must to do?

Whats your temperature on the tank and salinity

hello what parameters of the water do you use? Dr Tim says he uses a low salinity of 22ppm and a high temperature.

I think I got a bad batch! I noticed yours came out an orange color. I seem to remember mine being clear and no smell at all! Did yours have a smell. I remember thinking I felt like I just put in water so must not have been orange. the water did turn cloudy. i am on day 6 and my nitrites have been continuously stuck on 0.25 since day 3! I checked for nitates and I do have them so thats a good sign! I remember my first tank took I think 2 1/2 with no bacteria other then live sand. I had to leave the tank along for weeks because of a family emergency. I should have added Dr Tims when I got back home but I wasnt in a hurry like now so I waited it out months and I was showing nitrates early on as well! I might have screwed up though because I detected some ammonia b4 I added it. I read later on not to add untill you have 0 ammonia! my ammonia has been stuck on 4 maybe 5 at first and havnt added anymore, I ordered some fritz turbo start which I should have in the beginning, they have much better reviews! Did you go through an ugly stage and how long before you turned lights on? I am anxious to transfer some high end zoas from my other 2 tanks. This is a 20 gallon frag tank and I also have no sand and just rubble and rock so could be taking longer for that reason. Do you think I should do a water change with ammonia so high? Someone said Dr Tim said to do one if over 2 ppm! Great video! Thanks for sharing!

how did u determine u added 2ppm of ammonia later on to just check the bacteria? like how does one measure that?

Hi can I just ask where you got the Dr Tim’s results chart from to record your results?

I will be completing the cycle soon. I won't be able to get fish for another 2 weeks, do I continue to dose 2ppm ammonia and how often?

After adding ammonia and the beneficial bacteria, did you keep your filter on?

Do you put back the water in the tank after testing?

What was youre salanity and temperature at the initial beginning?

My api test kit Is showing 8ppm of ammonia and my salifert test kit is showing 0.5 ppm of ammonia. I’m so confused. Gonna try Red Sea ammonia kit and see where I’m at

Did you do a water change on day 9 or 10

I stall my cycle :( what to do to reset the cycling do I need to remove all water?? and start over? what about the water left on my canister?after removing water on my tank Please help :(

I was under the impression the bacteria in the bottle and the one that comes with live sand is counterproductive to each other.?? I was told if I use the bottle not to use live sand 🤷‍♀️

I just did my first test and got 4ppm of ammonia and 0 nitrites. Should I be concerned? The first test I did on day 0 read 0 on everything

I set up a 36 gallon tank yesterday with dr tims one and only and i didnt use anything to kill the chlorine, until today 24 hours later, do i need to put in more of dr tims?

Hi , I like your rock ! Were can I get then , with same style design.

i dont understand how your tanks bacteria works so fast. i did this exactly the same and my 250 g2+ stalled. even after a 50% water change im in between 2-5 ppm nitrite. hopefully it levels out 2 days tops

How many drops of ammonium chloride did you use ? I have a 10 gallon tank so how much do I need ?

Gurl that was between 2 or 3 ppm on the ammonia...you saw 1? Also, I know those lights were on not only for the vid cuz diatoms would not grow

My ammonia is zero but my nitrite is still 5ppm and nitrate 160ppm.

I'm on day 7 of Dr. Tims fishless cycle in a heavily planted tank and the ammonia and nitrites have remained at zero. Nothing is happening. Whats wrong? I'm so frustrated. In this same tank i tried a fish in cycle and the fish (guppies) they lived about 3 weeks then the all died almost overnight. I never had any ammonia or nitrites then either. Suggestions?

Hi, you still have to monitor your tank, because it’s not established. Bacteria can die off , as quickly as they produced… After 6-8 months aquarium is really safe.

Ph drops overnight
