So I am in the middle of doing a fishless cycle in my 46 gallon tank. Its been two and a half, almost three weeks since I put water in it and started the filter. I seeded the tank with bacteria from my 55 gallon tank and took a used filter cartridge from the 55 into the 46's filter.
Last week, my tank tested as follows:
Ammonia: .25
NitrAte: .5
NitrIte: 1.0
I tested just now:
Ammonia: 0
NitrAte: 10
NitrIte: 0
Where in the cycling process do you guys think I am? Im well away from adding fish, and plants will be my next step after the heater and the lights.
