My 30G tank has been up for 2 1/2 weeks. Used a big sponge from my 20G to seed it along with a brand new bottle of Nutrafin Cycle (ordered it from my store). I also have an anubias.
Things are now going smoothly. 2 days ago the ammonia was really high then it dropped a lot, nitrite is now present (getting higher by the day), and nitrates.
So all i'm wondering is, when the cycle is almost done, does ammonia drop, nitrite rise, along with nitrates? (i've already heard this but it's just the time period that's confusing me).
