Hello everyone has given such great information in the past, I have another question. I am currently cycling my second tank. I am fishless cycling this time as I learned a lession the last time when I cycled with fish and did not want to make the fish suffer this time. Ok so here is my question I seeded my second tank with some filter media from my first tank. I have been using clear ammonia. I believe I must have a very good population of Ammonia eating bacteria established since I dosed the tank this morning around 11:00 with enough to bring my reading upto 4.0ppm, i just tested the water and I am already down to .25ppm it has been this way for a few days now. The ammonia gets eaten up very fast however my Nitrites are very high around 5.0ppm i do get a small Nitrate reading of about 5.0. Any idea how much longer before I am cycled. Are my Nirites too High? should I do a water change? Should I lower the amount of amm. I dose the tank daily with? Any sugestions would be great. Thanks
