So I've been cycling my tank for 2 weeks and a half at least (probably not a long time) and I've been using Seachem stability to hopefully speed along the process.
When I add ammonia, it always fully disappears the next day. There's always 0-5 ppm of nitrates in the water, but I'm pretty sure that's just from the tap. Nitrites are always either 3.5 ppm or higher. I did a pretty big water change a few days ago because I've read that high nitrites delay the cycle. However, when I tested a few hours later, the nitrites still read higher than 3.5 ppm.
Is there anything I can do, and am I doing anything wrong?
