HI just a little look into my cycle
I gave up on the cycle I was doing so did a 90% water change re dosed prime as tap water very high( nitrate 20 ppm, nitrite - 0 ppm ,ammonia 1 ppm ).
waited 24 hours and added tss ( for hopefully a little help )
dosed ammonia to 1ppm and have monitored the results every day
ammonia fell slightly so dosed it back up to 1ppm at one point
nitrite rised and ammonia was falling
( tho ammonia never gone to 0ppm ) ( IN ANY OF MY ATTEMPTED CYCLES)
today must be about a week and a half into the cycle
today my nitrite has gone to 0 ppm and my ammonia is at 0.50 ppm
shouldn't the ammonia go to 0ppm before the nitrite ?
ph has been steady at 8.2 throughout the cycle so know that is not a problem.
oh and it is a FISH LESS cycle to save confusion
MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE
