I've posted about this before and now I'm posting again. My 10 gallon has been up 2 months and it still hasn't even STARTED to cycle. I test and change the water every 3 days. It usually tests about 3.0 ppm ammonia (super high I know) and I change about 30% of the water. When I do the change I change about 50% of the water in my betta tank yet that betta tank, which has only been up half as long, has nearly finished cycling (nitrItes are on the down swing). What the hell could be wrong with my 10? I use the same water in both so I don't think that could be it. I know the filter in it is super cheap so I'm thinking that must be it. I was told on here though that even the cheapest filters would support biological filtration. Should I go out and get an AC or a Penguin filter?
