I am seriously ready to just give up. I have been doing this cycle for exactly ONE MONTH today. My ammonia is at 0, but my nitrites are at 0.8 and I have absolutely the SAME amount of nitrates as I have had for over two weeks. They wont go up, but the nitrites go up DAILY! Water changes have been done a lot and it isnt helping. Is it NORMAL for my nitrates to not go up but my nitrites to? This is seriously frustrating the hell out of me. I even tried doing a 75% water change like someone advised me to do and NOTHING...everything went right back to the way it was after a day.
What am I doing wrong? I am feeding them only once a day and very little at that...doing frequent water changes...cleaning the tank and gravel...even letting the water level in the tank drop to about 3 inches below the top so more air can get into the water...I just cant figure it out.
