This past Tuesday made my 6 weeks fish-n cycle anniversary :fish2:
Generally I test really early in the morning and do the PWC...for the last 2 weeks my nitrites have been off the charts. For some reason today I didn't do my usual routine...anywho...I just checked the water parameters and "BAM" my nitrites were not off the charts as it has been the last 2 weeks :) and nitrates are appearing yippeee.....:popcorn:...(I really did eat some popcorn for this...:lol:) so I have attached the results...GIVE ME YOUR TAKE WHAT TO DO NOW...whooohoooo I do know I am near ending the daily PWC's

btw...these colors are tricky sometimes...tell me what the results are to you also

Looks like the nitrites are definitely coming down, which is good. Have you been doing anything to mitigate nitrite toxicity during the cycle?

Daily PWC only...usually I test 1-2 hours after pwc and the trites would be 0.50...by the next morning they would be off the chart dark dark purple...but my first test today wasn't dark...in person the color is seemingly closer to .5
 
3.5 hours later..test results for nitrites are lower than what its been....normally after PWC trites would be .50......but now they are .25.....glory glory glory....I am starting to see the light....:lol:
