Carbon Filter
Can you still cycle a tank, when the filter has carbon in it to remove Ammonia?
I have a Penguin with Bio-wheel and just put in new filter sheets (or something like that) and it said that they contain carbon to help remove ammonia. I keep trying to do a fishless cycle, but as soon as i put ammonia in it, the filter removes it! i think right now the ammonia is at 4ppm ( it was at 7 last night) Is that normal when trying to cycle a tank for the first time, or is it because of my filter?
Yes, it will still cycle, just a bit more slowly. Be sure they are carbon sheets and not zeolite which is an ammonia remover, that will slow it even more. To keep the ammonia under control until the cycle takes care of it you will need to do frequent water changes. Every other day is not too often, but use your test kit and change 1/2 the water if the ammonia gets close to the dangerous level. This will need to be done for abut 2-3 weeks or until the ammonia drops to 0 from the cycle.
