I'm about 4 weeks into starting my 210 gallon tank. I started with about 150lbs of semi-cured rock and another 100 plus pounds of dry rock. I added some scavengers - small hermits, some snails about 2 weeks ago. I'm at the point where in general terms; my ammonia went up and now has dropped to zero-sih; my nitrites went through the roof and then seemed to begin dropping 2 days ago - my basic question is for folks that may have recently cycled a similar size tank: once your nitrites started to drop - did they gradually fall; or did they all of a sudden drop to zero-ish in a day? ' just curious of some real-life experiences. Thanks
