Fishless cycling help

[threnjen]

It might just not be fast enough to do it in 24 hours yet. It might take another round or two for the nitrite eating bacteria to double.
You're still really, really close.
As soon as you see 0 nitrites again, do the whole ammonia dose again

My ammonia level is near 0 ppm and my nitrites are spiked with close to zero nitrates. Did a 50 % water change today still nitrite spike this cycling is frustrating
