Maxed out nitrites?
Yes, sorry, another cycling help post…
Ammonia, dosed to 2 ppm, has been vanishing within 24 hours for over a week now. But how high are my Nitrates here? I know any Nitrites means it’s not cycled. But if it’s above 5 ppm, should I do a large water change? If it’s 2 ppm, still change some water or wait it out? And I’ve stopped dosing Ammonia now after reading it can stall the cycle. Keep that paused?
Thanks in advance for any help. I feel like I’m so closed to having a properly cycled tank for the first time.
