Thank you very much. That chart seems to be exactly how mine went ....ammonia dropped...the nitrite just hung at a low number for a while...and boom it shot up. I think instead of dosing ammonia up to 4ppm i'll try to just keep it up at 2pp to not create so much nitrite. And hopefully it wont...

Thanks linwood. My ammonia drops on its own pretty quickly so i wouldnt need that step anyway....but its good to know that your nitrites went up that high and came down. Did u wver change any water or did the bacteria just take care of it on its own? And also did your nitrite level drop...

I am familiar with it -- this is my first time doing a full fishless cycle. I thought that the bacteria that eat the ammonia would starve without any source of ammonia in the tank so I keep dosing as it lowers. I can definitely see why it makes sense to give dosing the ammonia a break so that...

thanks for the reply! I tried getting seeding material from LFS back when I first started the cycling process but none seemed to be interested in selling or giving any away. Since my ammonia dropped and has been dropping pretty rapidly for a few weeks now I basically just want to make sure that...
