Okay, so I have been cycling a five gallon for a month, and in the past week the nitrites have not decreased at all (at 0.8 right now) ammonia has been zero for some time. The nitrites were plumetting but now they are stuck.
I did a 75% water change and am continueing to add a medium sized pinch of fish food every day, but i want to switch it to a sponge filter from a HOB. I have had the sponge filter running for a week in there now and have just turned off the HOB now. I am guessing I will see an ammonia spike again and kinda start from scratch
Any thoughts or ideas on how to help the cycle to completion?
