nitrite

I tested nitrite yesterday and it was .50 and now it's 0 . I didn't water changes so I don't know what happened. It's 10 gallons and not fully cycled. What could've happened?

Maybe your cycle is coming along, how long has your tank been set up?

Have you added any established media?

Nitrite is naturally converted to nitrate by the beneficial bacteria growing in your tank. I bet you'll have a nitrate reading if you test. And if it and ammonia both stay at zero you'll be fully cycled so keep an eye on that result!

It's been set up for 2 months. Ammonia is .25 to 0 ppm and nitrite is 0ppm. I did add established media so i guess that's why. There was 10ppm of nitrate a couple weeks ago but strangely its 0 now.
