Havent tested... Trying to conserve on tests... Especially ammonia. I can though... I know my nitrites and ammonia have to be 0 by now but I'll test nitrates
I think my cycle broke....

@Slaphppy7, at 5pm I added (by accident) 3ppm of ammonia... I completely forgot about only doing 2ppm... Is this ok?
Yeah, it's fine
OP
OP
@Slaphppy7 So I forgot to test yesterday at 5pm but thats ok cause the the results this morning at 10:40 were 0.25ppm ammonia and 5ppm+ Nitrites... Should I wait for everything to go down to 0 or add more ammonia?
No, wait for nitrite to drop. If you add too much ammonia you'll make so much nitrite that the cycle stalls.

Ok! thanks! Next time should I just try 2ppm of ammonia?
I would wait until nitrite is below 1 (the last stage in the cycling method), then add 2 ppm ammonia.

Ok, thank you so much! I will do that
Pretty colors!
What is that? He looks like a slug
OP

No, if you look up "damselfly nymph" up on google or another search engine and go to images... You will see. He looks like a slug in that photo cause he was a little squished from the tweezers.

So yesterday I entrusted my mom to add 2ppm ammonia to the tank while I left with my dad to a wood working class... Seems to be 0-0.25 ammonia and 5ppm+ nitrites...
If it were my tank , I would do a very large water change to bring nitrites down as nitrites that high can stall the cycle. Then bring ammonia up to 2 ppm and test in a day.
It worked for me when my cycle stalled.

Ok! Thanks! I'll do that tomorrow

So as you saw in my other thread, I did that water change. Yesterday (sunday), I added 2ppm ammonia at around 12-1pm (sorry! I forgot the time I added it!) and now today at around 12:30, I tested... The results were, 0.25-0.50 Ammonia and 5ppm+ nitrites
