Hey all, I have a 29 gal. that I started a cycle(it has been about 2 weeks) with a bunch of fake plants,I fluval 70 hob(was an extra in my 55 gal tank and has been running in there for about 2 months) and some java fern and java moss.The question I have is I am doing a fishless cycle useing ammonia and I raise my ammonia lvl to 4 ppm in the next day or two my nitrites spike (over 5 ppm with the api liquid test kit but the best I can due for nitrates is at best 10 ppm and then it drops back off. I have always read that when you see a spike in nitrites after a day or so you should see them drop and see a spike in nitrates,I am seeing the nitrites drop but not the nitrates would this be cycled useing seeded filter and other stuff?
Thanks in advance ,Joe
