Hi Everyone,
I have been cycling my 70 litre tank for about six weeks. I've cycled with fish and haven't lost a single one. Anyway, I'm using an API liquid test kit. Ammonia levels are 0-25 ppm (and have been for about a week). Nitrites and nitrates both zero. I have six balloon mollies in the tank. Nothing more and don't intend to get any more (they are all females).
Question is: how long is this cycling business going to take? I haven't had a nitrite spike yet (although am wondering whether this is on the way since my ammonia levels are staying down). I'm testing every second day.
Thanks.
