My ammo has been .50 since I started and has not budged andmy nitrites are at 2.0.. only been cycling for about a week just don't know what the readings should be..
 
Ammo should have gone higher at first. But all that matters is that when the ammo and nitrite are at 0 you are done. It will take 2 to 4 weeks.
 
I'm a newbie, but, be prepared for longer though. I started with 2 raw shrimp, then added lr a couple weeks later. Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks into my cycle - I've seen my ammo and trite spike but they are still present. :?
 
I took a sample of water to the lfs and my ammo and trites are high.. just added some dr today also.. hope to add some more lr in a week..
