I have a 10 gallon tank that has been trying to cycle for 6 weeks now. Ammonia is consistently reading at 1.0 (house tap is consistently at .25). I change water at 50% every couple of days, and starting today, I will start changing out the water daily and see if that helps at all. My frustration is that even after a 50%-75% water change, ammonia still reads as 1.0! I do have fish in the tank, and they actually seem pretty darn happy.
I have a HOB filter, as well as a sponge filter. Lots of live plants, and I keep the tank clean from algae, but only vacuum minimally to get the visible garbage off the floor. Can anyone guide me as to why my ammonia absolutely will not budge? Many thanks!
