So cycling my tank. 19 days in. Got some media from a friend ( although hasn't helped much).
Finally started to see ammonia drop from 4-5 to 1-2. Been dosing back up. Zero no2. Had zero no3 too. Finally got some no3 to show up but no no2. Thought I was maybe skipping the no2 phase. Tested my tap water and got some no3 reading. Lower than the tank but not by much.
I don't get how the tank had ZERO if my tap water apparently contains it.
Anyways will having it in the tap water hurt anything?
Hopefully I start seeing some no2 movement as I'm at day 19 now.
