I finally got nitrite and nitrate liquid tests along with my ammonia.
My readings were ammonia 0.25ppm Nitrite 0 ppm and Nitrate 60-80 ppm.
I just did a 50% water change 2 days ago, and fed yesterday. The presence of Nitrate means it has cycled, correct? Is the ammonia just from feeding, and should I expect to find that a day or two after feedings? Why are my Nitrates between 60 and 80 so close to a 50% water change? Should I do another one now? At what ppm of Nitrate should I do a water change?
