So I bought my second tank used 3 weeks ago. I set everything up and have been using flakes as I have yet to find a pure ammonia source for cycling. If also used some squeezings from my filter media, as well as using the media I replaced the weekend after purchasing the tank in order to help speed up the cycle. I also had to wait for my test kit to come in which it finally did today.
My results
Ammonia- 0
NitrIte-0
NitrAte- 5
Now since there is no ammonia reading or nitrites does this mean that the tank has cycled in such a short time, or is the cycle just in the begining stages. It just find it weird that nitrates are so low with everything else being low.
