Ok, I began a fishless cycle 3 weeks ago. I added filter from my 3 gal tank to my marineland 360. I dosed to 3 ppm ammonia and waited. I got a drop to about 2 ppm in 2 weeks and then got impatient. I tested water and had 2 ppm ammonia, 0 nitites and 20 ppm nitrates. Yeah, weird i know. I then decided to change to fish in cycling. I did 80% water change and used prime. 48 hrs later I added tetra safe start and 5 1" zebra danios and 1 2" neon danio from previous tank. They have been in tank for a week now. Tested water and 0 amm, 0 nitrite and 30 ppm nitrate. Is this tank cycled? Its 70 gal btw. I have been doing water tests and have yet to get any nitrite readings. I am confused.
