it is possible to cycle a tank in two days?
I have had my tank running for two days with filter on and heater on around 30c.
I have added nutrafin cycle
Also fish flakes every 12 hours
I have added gravel and ornaments and filter media(which was covered in bacteria) from an established tank that is cycled
After just over 48 hours of the tank running i tested the tank these were the results:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: around 60!!
pH: around 7.5
What should I do now? do a huge water change and add 1 or 2 hardy fish? i find it hard to believe a tank could have cycled in two days
