Might have messed up
I am doing a fish less cycle and it seemed I had low Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate was at 20 ppm. I did a 90% water change and filled the tank 20% before I added Prime with the filter off. I added ammonia once the tank was full, up to 2 ppm.
Now my readings a day later are:
Ammonia: 1 ppm
Nitrite: .25 ppm
Nitrate: 5 ppm
I have a 110 gallon tank and I am wondering if that is why it is taking more then a day to convert my ammonia. Does tank size influence the time to process ammonia or am I in the middle of my cycle not the end.
