I'm currently cycling my 5 gallon fish tank. I have API's freshwater master test kit and my ammonia level is around 8ppm and my nitrite level is not even .25ppm. I heard that when you start to see nitrite, you decrease the amount of ammonia you put in by half. Is that correct? Right now I'm putting in 18 drops a day.
One more quesion, I have a 30 gallon rated filter on my 5 gallon fish tank. (AquaClear30) Is that ok or will it harm the fish? I plan on getting a few guppies. (3-5 males) I don't want it to suck them up or get them stuck to it.
