I think we are getting close. I have been adding ammonia to the tank the past 20 days or so. I think one thing that has been killing me is that I have been traveling and not been able to add the ammonia regularly as it gets depleted.
I have been on top of it the past few days now. My ammonia is going from 4 ppm to almost 0 in a 24 hour period. Now I have approx. 1.0 ppm on Nitrites and my Nitrate level is around 40 ppm.
While I read the https://www.aquariumadvice.com/the-almost-complete-guide-and-faq-to-fishless-cycling/
It is saying to just keep juicing the tank up to 4 ppm of ammonia until the nitrites and nitrates go off the chart. IF that is the case I am not there yet.
Just looking for more clarity on if I am doing everything right. Trying to stay on the ammonia better to keep it juiced up. Thank you everyone!!
