Why yes i am tired of the cylcing process!

Okay I tested both of my fish in cycling tanks, the 46g showed nitrItes for the 1st time in about 2 weeks, nitrAtes 10, ammonia~.25. Is this typical at about 3-1/2 weeks? My 10g showed ~.5 ammonia, 0 nitrItes, 5 nitrAtes after 4 weeks of fish in cycling. Yesterday both had good readings. I did 50% + water changes on both.

If anything I'd say you're ahead of the norm.

Good to know. I just thought it odd for nitrites to suddenly show up after being gone for so long.
