Hi,
I am in my second week of a fishless cycle and today when I checked the parameters I noticed my nitrites were of the scale! they were sitting comfortably at 5PPM!
The ammonia level was at 0.50 and my nitrates were around 5-10ppm
I am just after some advice on what I should do about this (if I should do something at all...)
The products I use to cycle my tank are:
'Microbe-lift Nite Out II' (states that I should add to aquarium daily until ammonium/nitrites no longer measurable)
'Microbe-lift Special Blend'
both these products I got from a LFS who has had 25+years of experience
I also have this:
'Love Fish Filter Boost' sold to me as basically fish poo in a bottle (for the source of ammonia) - This product was sold to me by Pets At Home as an alternative to fish in cycling because I refused to do it. (ALL I WANTED WAS AN API MASTER KIT)
any help would be greatly appreciated!
