I have a 20 gallon tank and have been doing a fish-in cycle for approximately 6 or so weeks.
I have an API master test kit and the results have mostly been the same since I started (ammonia .25, nitrites 0, nitrates 0).... I do daily 40% water changes and use prime.
Today I tested the water and noticed a dramatic change since I last tested (about 4 days ago).
Ammonia: .50
Nitrites: 2.0
Nitrates: 5.0
Is my tank cycled?
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
