very strange...need advice

wow. NH3 over 2 for three plus months and not done with the cycle? I am confused by this. I second Menagerie's advise, get the water tested with another kit or at the LFS. Sorry about hijacking the thread, the science behind the cycle is incredibly fascinating for me.

Well, I went to my LFS and got my water tested and lo and behold the tank IS actually cycled! I guess the test kits I had were not that great. That could also explain why I lost my blue dwarf gourami about a week after I put my new fish in my tank. The tests didn't show any ammonia spike but maybe there was one.
Thanks everyone!

Wonderful! Did you replace your test kits?
