CYCLING Your Saltwater Nano Tank + Interview w/ Dr. Tim! - Nano / Home Office Tanks

In this episode of our series, "Nano / Home Office Tanks", Mark will dive deeper into cycling your nano tank. What is cycling? Why is it important? We'll explain, reviewing everything from the nitrogen cycle to fishless cycling vs. cycling with fish. We'll also share common cycling mistakes during an interview with Dr. Timothy Hovanec, President of Dr. Tim's Aquatics.

Tellin' it like it is without the sugar coating. I LOVE this...

[@ohitsyang]

I’m currently cycling my 36 gallon bow front with guppies (yes I converted them to saltwater) and so far, so good. Its been 2 weeks now and things are going smoothly.

...hahahahahahaha...@2:29 he said "doo-doo"...hahahahahahaha

Note on the Ammonia and Nitrite test kits. Fine when you first start. Pay attention to the use by date if you use them again as it's likely to be several months after the initial cycle if you are anything like me.

Hey Mark where can I buy the cool shirts you always have ☺️?

[@steved8386]

I let my tank cycle for two months... very stable and no ugly stage. Patience is key😐

[@nunyabinnis1728]

Mark so dreamy 😍

[@plind67]

What do you do when the ammonia is gone and you nitrites skyrocket. How do you get nitrites under control or do you just wait for the nitries
to go down or do you add Dr. Tims ammonia chloride if you don't add fish. It's confusing as hell and most RUclips videos don't really help because most all have different remedies.

[@ThePthinker]

You don't do anything. you wait for the nitrites to go down, then you will get nitrates. If that gets high, you then do water changes to bring down the nitrates...You likely figured that out by now though;)

[@miguelm4845]

What parameters besides salinity should I check on the new water before adding it to the tank?

[@Rawrxdlol79]

Ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite as bare minimums

[@RRWerken]

@@Rawrxdlol79 he said BEFORE adding it to the tank. There won’t be ammonia, nitrate and nitrite in that water.
@miguel, you should check your salinity and TDS before adding it to your tank for your first fill and when doing a water change.

[@billray7703]

Great video. But Dr Tim’s didn’t work for me I tried it 3 times and all no good I Switched to fritz and instantly my tank was cycled

[@dsedean]

he said doo doo from around @2.20

[@seanpaterson1602]

Dr. Tims instructions say nothing about testing Nitrates... only ph, ammonia and nitrites....
