Hi again, I am really struggling to get our nitrogen cycle started, I am doing a fish in cycle and I am 2 weeks in and still no Nitrite. When can I expect to start to see our Nitrite levels start to rise? We have Plenty of ammonia (keeping it at around 0.25ppm with frequent water changes and...

Im in little old NZ - we dont have the cheap stuff from craiglists etc sadly :( but I will keep my eye open for a bigger tank. But right now - this is all I have. As it's already cost me almost $1,000 NZ to set up buying another tank at potentially another $600 nz isn't going to happen
