Ok. So here is a stupid question, I am sure you have all answered before.
Cycling a 29 gallon. 3 fish. 2 Kribensis and an albino brush nose Pleco. Going about 10 days.
Daily water tests. Been going normal, spike in ammonia, water change. Ammonia still up next day, another water change. Rinse repeat.
Water test yesterday, very slight increase in Nitrites, about .5ppm ammonia. Did a 25% WC.
Water test today. NitrItes- through the roof!!!! 75%WC. Immediately after WC, did another water test. NitrItes still through the roof.
Did I test too soon? Do I do another immediate WC? 75%
Fish are seemingly happy.
It's planted(a few), PH is high(but it always is due to my water supply at 7.6.
TIA
