So my tank has been going through a fishless cycle for about 1.5 months now. I have continuously dosed ammonia to 4 ppm. My test kit is an API freshwater master test kit. The temp is holding steady around 80 during the cycle. My Ph crashes every day. Every night when I run my parameters my Ph has crashed again. Out of my tap the ph is about 7.6 every night though my ph bombs to about 6.4. Why does this keep happening it has happened for about 2 weeks this way now. My ammo drops to 0 every night from 4 ppm, nitrites are about 5ppm, and nitrate is about 5ppm. What can I do to keep my ph from crashing every day so I don't have to keep doing water changes (that was the point of doing a fishless cycle) I am so ready to add fish it is killing me!
