Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi There;
I have a 250 gallon aquarium that I have had set up and fully stocked since March 15th so we are talking about almost 4 months here. This tank refuses to cycle. The Amonia has been zero since the beginning of April the Nitrites range right now between 0.1 and 0.3, they stay mostly at 0.1 and the Nitrates vary quite broadly from the bottom of the scale to the top of the scale. Never do the Nitrites drop to zero. I have not added any new fish in probably 2 months. Is it because of the live plants that I have had in there since day one or what? I don't get it. This tank has a wet dry filtration system.
