Hi all
currently 4 weeks into my fishless cycle and can turn 4ppm of ammonia to 0 within 24 hours no worries , but am having trouble as nitrites are still off the chart
For almost 2 weeks I have only been dosing every 3 days to see if my nitrites( off the chart) will drop and nitrates will rise ( stuck on 5ppm ).
The last 5 days I haven't added any ammonia at all to also see if they would change which they haven't !!!
how long do the nitrite eating bacteria normally take to appear???
Should I keep not adding ammonia to see if they change or just go back to dosing 2ppm every 3 days ???
Any help would be great as this is my first cycle and currently starting to worry !
