Hey is this normal when cycling...my ammonia isn't really dropping but my nitrites are starting to rise?
I got my ammonia up to 4ppm a couple of days ago, then by accident, bumped it up to 8ppm, so yesterday i did a 50% percent water change and got it back down to 4ppm. Today I tested and its still at around 4ppm but now my Nitrites have gone up to 0.50ppm...is that normal cause I thought the ammonia was suppose to start dropping as the nitrites started rising?
