I am letting my new 30gal tall cycle with filter media from my other tank. My other tank was only about 1/2 way through the cycle, so I assume thats why I'm seeing readings like this in the new tank. Not sure though, what do you think?...
Ammo 0
Nitrite Off the charts (probably 10ppm+)
Nitrate 20
A few days ago Ammo was at .5 and now its 0, so I figure its being consumed. I added a bunch of found dw and sandstone the other day, could that be adding to the Nitrite?
My more established tank with fish in is having Nitrite spikes too, which im controlling with pwc's. Nitrate in that tank is about 10ppm.
Anyway, any thoughts are appreciated. I'm hoping that it means that my tank is just cycling as it is supposed to. Thanks!
