I am 2 weeks into a fishless cyling process using ammonia.
My tank is a 36 gal with 20lbs Seachem Flourite and 20lbs Card Sea Supernat as a cap. I have a variety if 8 smaller plants.
My current levels are (been like this for about 2-3days)
Ammonia 0ppm (converrts from ~4ppm ammonia to 0 overnight)
Nitrite ~ 5ppm,
Nitrate ~40 ppm
pH 7.6
water temp 84F
should I do a 50% water change to lower the Nitrites until they start to come down or leave as is and keep dosing 4ppm ammonia until the Nitrites go to 0
