Hi, my situation is as follows. I have this tank.
I am trying to plant it and kickstart the nitrogen cycle. I have a shrimp in there. It runs at 24.4°C. Also I use the pump with venturi. I changed the water yesterday because I was getting high Nitrate and Nitrites. Changed 50%.
Today I am getting these readings.
I will be changing 25% again until you will respond because I don't want to kill the shrimp.(Bamboo Shrimp)
What is happening? I read about the cycling, but I don't remember any stage where both go this high. What do I need to do?
Thank you!
