Frustration! :bad-words: 10g FINALLY cycled a couple weeks ago after about 8 weeks or so of being patient. I come home on Friday night and (2) of my flame tetra's have some very small white spots, an hour later one of the neons, then another hour and two more flame's have them. I rush to the...

Finally!!!! Well, just tested again and FINALLY, those Nitrites came down to ZERO!!!! :laugh: Kept doing PWC every few days and was waiting to add more fish. Been a long road with some serious patience and waiting. And now, all levels are reading perfect. PH - 7.6 Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0...
