Thanks, I did add the fish after doing 2 wc to ensure nitrites where at 0.
It's been more than 12 hrs. Did test
Ammonia is at 0
Nitrites are at 0
Nitrates are at 3-4 too low to distinguish on test strip scale
Will do another test tomorrow.
It's been cycling since dec 10th, both nitrites and nitrates had shoot up beyond there scale. Did 3wc to bring then under there scale and monitor the cycling.
Since the nitrites were always staying at 3 over last few days and nitrates were rising, so I decided to end the cycle.
I will keep watch on ammonia and nitrites closely to ensure things are in controll.
This morning I decided to end my fishless cycle. Before huge wc, I did a test
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 4
Nitrates were at 70
Since nitrites have been hanging in range 3-5 ppm, I decided to end the cycle.
Did 90% wc then did another test
Nitrites 1 ppm
Nitrates less than 10

Am I at the end of cycle ?
Ph 8.4
Ammonia is going from 4 ppm to zero in 12 hrs.
Nitrites went down from 10 to 3 in 12 hrs
Nitrates went up from 25 to 40 in 12 hrs
I am planning to add another 4 ppm ammonia before I sleep tonight.
Am I at the end of cycle ?
