Looking for some expert input here bc I'm alittle baffled on this one on where my cycle is at exactly.
My amm has been inbetween .25 - .50ppm everyday for the past week or so. My nitrites continue to remain at 0 and my nitrates have been on the rise from 5ppm up to 10-20ppm during that time. I took my water up to a local fish only store last weekend they said I was very close to being fully cycled but it has been a week since then so I'm just wanting to get some more opinions on what others think I have in my cycle process.
Side note ... The two guppies and the ghost shrimp seem as healthy and active as ever. I do put " Prime " in my tank everyday to protect the fish until I get a firm grip on what my waters doing..
