Your readings will be off at first. Patient my friend, that's the process of building your BB in the filter, if you have seeding and you do give it a few days , and keep the ammonia levels up. You will see a spike in nitrates, and when you notice drops in the ammonia, keep up to 4 ppm because the nitrites will becoming up eventually , your almost there . when the nitrates and nitrites spike up fully your almost there, change the water and check the pH level once it shows a drop , change the water and test regularly because each time you change the water it buffers it and eventually your tank will cycle , and its fish time!!![emoji1]

Thank you again you have been a big help. I will keep you updated on the cycle . And when it's fish time you might be able to help me with the stock to haha ?
