Hello I'm in the middle of a fishless cycle around 2-3 weeks my testing has been good so far using the API master freshwater test kit to help so the problem is that my nitrites were getting very 5+ppm so I've done a couple pwcs in the last couple of days to help get the nitrites down my ammonia is converting from 4ppm to 0 in 24hrs which I know is normal but today when testing my ph was at 6.0 and normally it sits at 7.2 I noticed it slowly dropping yesterday it was 6.6-6.8 range today 6.0 I don't understand why it dropped I did a pwc to help buffer hopefully so my results of today's test was ph6.0 ammo.25 ppm nitrite .5-1ppm nitrate 80ppm my nitrites use to be high until I changed the water yesterday to a more normal reading any help would be great
