Dear Community,
Can someone help me out or throw suggestions?
I've been doing a fishless cycle for about 2 weeks now, not using any plants.
Ammonia levels are around 2-5ppm. Testing with the API test kit.
Ammonia used is the ACE Janitorial Ammonia.
I've been testing every single day. Ammonia hasn't really dropped. No Nitrites at all. My heater is cranked up about 85-90 degrees. My filter is producing large amounts of bubbles with the water flow splashing down. I also have a meshbag filled with gravel that I took from my cousin's aquarium.
What am I doing wrong? I know be patient, but I'm still kinda worried on why nitirites hasn't been showing up. I've also been looking at other forums and many people said that, their nitrites showed up 4-5 days since they started.
