It's day four in the fishless cycle of my 10 gallon and I already have readings of 0.25ppm Nitrite and 5.0ppm Nitrate even though my ammonia reading hasn't dropped from 4.0ppm for two days. Is this normal? I have a bit of Java fern in my tank, and I did manage to get a plastic plant from an established tank to put in the new one. Could the plant have already helped to speed things up? Or should I just assume that's my base reading for Nitrite and Nitrate?
Here's my tank, btw
