Hey all,
So it appears that something is finally starting to happen with my cycle, but it's weird. My ammonia dropped from about 3/4ppm to 1/1.5ppm but there's still no signs of nitrites (I've been cycling for almost a month now). What's weird is, I'm seeing signs of nitrAtes! There's not much, only about 2-3ppm, but they're still present. Is it even possible to see nitrates before nitrites? What does this mean for my cycle, am I on the right track or did I mess up somewhere?
Thanks again for all your help.
