hello people...this is day 22 of my cycle (5gal w/2platies) and everything was going smooth...too smooth...till yesterday...when i had (still have) a reading of 5ppm nitrites...had the ammonia spike already (only reached 0.50ppm) and now NH3 is 0ppm...i did a 15% water change yesterday and after an hour i tested and it was the same...and today same thing...cant seem to be able to lower it...nitrates are 5ppm...i think my problem is this...since my tap water has chloramine( )...when im replacing water in the tank it is converted into nitrites right away...since my readings for ammonia are 0ppm before and after the water changes...so...i dont think changing water is helping any...i use prime and it claims to be able to detoxify nitrites in an emergency...so i was wondering if that would be the way to go...fishies look fine...i didnt feed them today...just in case...im using the AP freshwater master test kit...thaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnks in advance!
