Nitrites finally after three weeks

[Wenty]

Well they are starting to kick in.... I bumped the temp up to 84 and have my spray bars aerating the water.

I read that this helps speed up the cycle.

Tank is cycled and I was wondering for feeding the bacteria how much until I get fish ???

I'm thinking cap in the morning and cap at night.

I put in three cap fulls of ammonia = 8 ppm last night and this morning it was 0 ppm.

Nitrite 0 ppm, Nitrite 5-6 ppm

Nitrite 5-6ppm ? or you meant Nitrates?
NitrItes need to be 0.

Until you get fish, just simulate the wastes of the amount of fish you'll have in the Tank. If it's 2-3 small fish, simulate a smaller bioload.
