27g tank.
Cycling since August 5th. Fishless cycle with ammonia.
When I add 4ppm ammonia, in 24 hours the ammonia is completely gone. The nitrite at first shows high readings of 5ppm but goes to 0ppm after 5 or 6 minutes.
Nitrate is not sky high. 10ppm to 20ppm. Highest nitrate during cycle was maybe 20 or 30ppm a week ago.
Is it done? I'm just confused about the delayed nitrite reading.
Thanks.
