i started cycling a 29G with an HOB+ sponge filter, and 100w heater on MAY20th it’s Aug and I’m still not cycled.
I added pure ammonia up to 4ppm
Two weeks later I got nitrite readings, once ammonia dropped to 0.25 I dosed ammonia back up to 4ppm my nitrites have been at 1ppm since I first got readings of it and no higher or less. Every time my ammonia drops less then 2ppm I add ammonia back up to 4ppm my nitrites remain the same at 1ppm. I have 0 Nitrates. I’m about to give up because I have no idea what else to do. Temp 82-84 F any help/advice would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.
