Hello, I am new here and have a question about fishless cycling. I am on day 25 of my fishless cycle. At this point I am adding enough ammonia daily to raise it to 2ppm. After 12 hours it is down to 0ppm. My nitrites are between .25 and 0ppm and seem to have been stuck there for a couple of days (hopefully they will keep going down). My question is about Nitrates...they are only around 6ppm (tap water tests 0ppm). Is this normal or should they be higher? It seems like other people have reported much higher nitrates at this stage. This is my first attempt at fishless cycling, so your comments are much appreciated.
