Hey everyone, I am knew to this site and really need some input from anyone with experience please! Let me give my tank setup. I have a 75 gallon tropical freshwater tank that I am currently cycling with fish (I know I should have done fishless), the fish are Zebra Danios. Anyway, the cycling has been going on 2 weeks now. For the last 3 days, my ammonia levels have been 0, my Nitrite levels are super high at like 5, and my Nitrate level is at around 20. I am assuming that means I am to the middle stage of cycling, the Nitrite stage? Hopefully that is what those numbers would indicate, please let me know. Also, just for some information, I am using the API freshwater test kit, I keep the tank at 74 degrees, and I have two filters I am currently using (The marineland Emperor 400, and the Marinland Penguin 350). I also am using Prime and Stability. Please give me any advice and let me know if I am headed in the right direction. Thanks everyone!
UPDATE: I keep getting conflicting information on water changes! Some say big water changes daily, some some minor water changes multiple times a day, and some say no water changes while cycling. What is the recommended course of action for water changes during cycling? Especially in my case of very high Nitrites? Thanks
