My mind went blank, I have no idea when I added my ammonia (I always remember) but I'm pretty sure it was yesterday... I tested the tank, and these are the results: 0-0.25 amm and 2ppm nitrites

2ppm doesnt stall the cycle... The nitrates will drop it to about 0.50-1ppm by tomorrow. I know over 5ppm is badohh such pretty colours
you need to do a water change to drop the nitrite to about half that otherwise it can stall the cycling process.

I checked it with a more accurate test color chart... Its an electronic version @Slaphppy7 showed me. See, when I took that pic its under fake lighting and its darker... When I'm seriously comparing, I open the blinds and face it towardz the window to get a better result of real color.I reckon your purple nitrite is more than 2ppm

Viewing from above provides a way darker color, there is a reason why API says to view it from the side on all the tests except for GH and KH
