Okay folks, wrapping up day 25 here and the nitrites took a precipitous plunge today. A morning test hinted at the drop and an after work test 14 hours later shows a drop from 3-4 ppm to .5 ppm. So my nitrite spike lasted six days: started to rise on the 12th, falling off on the 18th.
I am still going to dose with a bit of ammonia as I won't get any fish in the tank until late on Sunday (provided of course that the cycle finishes). I will measure for trates and do the obligatory water change.
Now the fun of stocking begins.
On another note, if you read my driftwood query, you may know that I've got a really interesting piece floating mid-level in the tank. Over the last few days it has lost some buoyancy and is sinking at little. I'll post a pic soon.
Thanks again for this wonder forum!
