I have a 29 gal tank that I am cycling. I had five fish for the first four weeks. NH3 and NO2 rose and then settled but not to zero. After four weeks and two 30% PWC's: NH3 at 1.0 and NO2 at 0.5. I decided to add more fish (maybe a mistake). I added four Cory's. A week later, same results. I did three more 30% PWC's in the next week and got NH3 at 0.5 and NO2 at .25. NO3 have been steady around 10. During the next week they have stayed steady at the same level. I added two airstones to get better oxygenation but no change. I am using a Whisper 30 and have added Biozyme periodically. It has been almost seven weeks and this seems to be taking forever. Should I just wait longer? I want to get a school of tetras but am a little afraid since the levels and not at zero yet. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
