i have been cycling my tank around 3 weeks now and i have seen nitrite go through the roof. My nitrate has been at around 15ppm and my ammonia dissapears in around a day.
one thing though is that now my nitrite is at 0ppm and ammonia is 0ppm 12-24 hours after adding, but for some reason my nitrates have fallen to 0ppm! i thought you only got rid of this with a water change??
one reason that i could think of for this is that i recently changed my filtrate in my eheim to carbon. will the carbon be removing the nitrate? if so, am i ready for my 75-90% water change?
if you could help it would be great!
