Sorry for starting a new thread but it seems that the others have dried up and no-one is looking. Either that or I have bored people stupid.
The attached chart is self explanatory in respect of which test kit was used and when.
Since I got the API master test kit (green) notice the readings. What does that mean, has the cycle started or completed?

Hi Slider
It looks to me that you have to wait to get some nitrite readings there...
I do not believe it is cycled yet. Its showing ammonia, that hasnt been converted yet. You will need to have a reading of 0 ammonia, 0 nitrIte. and between 10-30 nitrate to show a cycle completed.
Sorry... i know its frustrating.. but the cycle does take awhile to achieve.

It looks to me like you are getting there. The ammonia is increasing finally. Just wait for that nitrite spike and you will know you are near completion. My tank just recently finished cycling taking about 6 weeks so it is a slow process.
