55G and 140G cycles

[fiftyfiveG]

1. My 55G week 4: .25 Ammonia, .25 Nitrite, and 20 Nitrate. I have 19 fishes in there. Do 50% water change every other day.


2. My 140G day 4: fishless cycle. Current reading with turbo start, .25 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, and 0 Nitrate.

I would suggest re-examining your stock list for the 55 gallon. Your Mbuna do not belong with your new world cichlids, based on their differing needs for water parameters as well as diet. It also contains too many fish IMO. Hopefully that's the point of the 140 gallon.
