We set up our 240 litre tank over two weeks ago using the water from our old tank 125l. New fluval u3 filter. We had to add our fish straight away so didn't get a chance to cycle it but our local fish shop said it will be fine. But now over the last 3 days we have had ammonia 2ppm so we treated it over 3 days and now it's down to 0ppm but the nitrite has shot up to 5ppm!what can we do? Or do we leave it run it's course? Also what should the level of nitrate be?? Yesterday ours was 20. We have cichlids in our tank? Advice much appreciated
