My daughter has bought her own 125l tank and has started fishless cycling, however she is now becoming impatient and I would like to know that we are heading along the right lines.
She is able to dose up to 4ppm ammonia and have that gone by the following day, nitrites however are not dropping and nitrates are very high. We have been at this stage for nearly 2 weeks now, hence my daughter is getting impatient.
Last night for example she dosed up to 4ppm ammonia, on testing tonight (Api master test kit) ammonia was 0, nitrite was 5ppm and nitrates are 80ppm.
If anyone has any tips I would really appreciate it, she knows she has done the right thing by doing this without fish, are we heading in the right direction?
