Hi guys
I have had my fish tank for 6 1/2 weeks now well into the cycle process. I have a 5.5 gal tank with 3 white cloud minnows and I use a internal filter (super fish Aqua flow 100) and my tank is unheated.
I havnt replaced the filter since I got it nor the media inside ( and I have stuffed the inside of the filter with bio rings).
My problem is that I keep getting between 0.5 - 1ppm of nitrites and these never seem to be going down.
Ammonia never seems to now go over 0 or it might be somewhere between 0 - 0.25.
How much longer should it be before the nitrites start to drop and my tank becomes fully cycled as the water changes every day are getting annoying. I am doing between 40-50% daily.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
