Hi all my fishy friends
Ok i have been doing this fishless cycle for 14 days now on my 120g tank and thought i might have seen a drop in ammonia by now , but no not surprised as my tank now has what i belive to be bacteria floating around in it which causes ammonia so ive been told on here . So here are my readings for the last fourteen days , my question is to you guys is do you think its normal and how long do you think its going to be as i have never done a fishless befor

day 3 ammonia 4.9 nitrite 0.1 nitrate n/a ph n/a 50% water change to drop ammonia to 5
