What does cycling a tank mean?
It is the several-week process of growing bacteria that convert ammonia to nitrite and then to nitrate. Until that colony exists, waste accumulates as ammonia, which is why fish added to a brand-new tank so often die.

Aquarium Water Care in Nepal
Nearly every avoidable fish death traces back to water chemistry, and you cannot judge it by eye — clear water can still be lethal. Miscava stocks dechlorinators, bacterial starters, test kits and treatments.
- Always dechlorinate: Treat every drop of tap water before it goes in. Chlorine harms both fish and filter bacteria.
- Test, don't guess: Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate tell you what is happening weeks before the fish show it.
- Cycle before stocking: A bacterial starter shortens the wait, but the tank still needs to establish before fish go in.
Frequently Asked Questions about Fish Water Care
What should my readings be?
Ammonia and nitrite should both read zero in an established tank, with nitrate kept low through regular water changes. Any reading above zero for the first two means you should stop feeding and change water.
