Hi, newbie here im doing my first fish less cycle, I'm currently on day 8 of fish less cycle. I've put one dose of Dr timms amonina on day 1 to get it to 2ppm. Also I put a bottle of tetra quick start in for the bacteria. So far the amonina Level has stayed at 2ppm and not changed, nitrites have stayed at 0, nitrate which I started testing on day 6 are 5ppm.
My tank is 14 gallons and I've been keeping the temperature at 26c. I have a couple of small plants in the tank and have the filter on.
I know it takes time but what's confusing me is still no nitrite but seeing low nitrate is this normal? Just want to make sure I'm doing it all correctly. Many thanks
