After 1 week of cycling, my levels are as follows:
Ammonia 0
nitrites .50
Nitrates 20
I can explain the nitrates being so high, on the last water change I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak, I used 15 gal out of my 30 gal tank in my 46 gal, then put 15 gal back into the 30 gal, so I got a water change for my fishies and dropped my ammonia in my 46 at the same time. Didn't take into consideration that I was putting nitrates into the tank.
I'll do a 15 gal tonight, and then we will see how much longer I must wait until my fish can move into their newly remodeled home.
