Nitrogen dosing, or fishless cycling. Did it work?

Hi Daniel,

If they're alive they can't do the system any harm. If they end up dead, it will only add to the ammonia load in the short term.

they are an important food source for fish. They are the little midges.

edit: You know, if you've got bloodworms in there, it can't be too bad. I suspect that the surfactant in the cloudy ammonia is probably not a big deal after a week.

Ahh, well, i have replaced the water from my rain water tank. I may just go out and get some feeder fish. Stick with what i know.
