Hi, I'm new to the forums and the fish world. I've been reading a lot of articles but I am stuck. I'm doing a fishless cycle with straight ammonia and my nitrite levels have been off the charts for 2 weeks. I feed the tank to 1ppm ammonia everyday and by the next day it's down to 0ppm but the nitrite levels have been at 5.0 ppm for the past 2 weeks. I have a 20 gallon tank it's heated to 87 degrees. the PH is 8.2. Is there something I'm missing or is this normal? All other forum posts haven't had any nitrite levels this high. Thanks
