Hey everyone,
I've had a tank set up for a little over one week, and it is not cycling at all. Every day, the ammonia level is a 1.0ppm, and the nitrite level is a .005ppm. It never changes. The fish seems happy in the tank, and I haven't changed the filter or anything, so I have no clue why it won't cycle. I even went out and purchased a piece of drift wood from my local petstore that was in one of their tanks to hopefully get some of the bacteria in my tank, and still no luck. My water is chlorinated, and my tank size is 5 gallons.
Is it possible my tank is already cycled and this is as good as it's going to get?
Thanks.
