Ok so 2 weeks into cycling my 150 that I seeded with some media from one of my established tanks I can dose to 4-5 ppm ammonia daily, and come home 24 hrs later to a 0 reading, I am also seeing close to 10 ppm nitrates. The problem is my nitrites are off the charts!! How long will it be until that spike subsides? It seems like all the guides ive read breeze through the nitrite spike phase saying they will taper off and you will see the nitrates and everything else at zero. The nitrite readings have been going on for close to 5 days now.
