I started a fishless cycle 5 days ago on a 65 gallon tank. Could not find any ammonia without additives. I decided to use fish food. My ammonia readings are 4.0ppm. Nitrites are 0. Temp is at 80 degrees. I was wondering how long it takes before I start getting nitrite readings.
I've read it could take some time. I'm trying not to be impatient, but I was wondering if there is a time I should be concerned if nitrites still read 0.
