I'm still in the process of cycling my tank. I've been testing for ammonia everyday or every other day at least. It took awhile for the ammonia to rise enough for me to even get a reading on it, but now it looks like the levels are starting to rise enough for me to have to remove even more water when I do a PWC.
I've had the tank for 2 weeks now. Yesterday I took a reading for ammonia and it looked like it was about .25PPM. I did a PWC of about 30-40 percent yesterday. This morning I took a reading and it looked like it was getting near .50PPM. I did a 50% water change and then took another reading. It still looked like it was about .50PPM. I've just got a bottle of Prime and have been using that the last few water changes. I know it says it removes ammonia, but if I'm still getting a reading of it, I would assume that's not a good thing. There are 0 nitrites and 0 nitrates as it is still cycling.
Any advice?
