I'm cycling a 125 gallon tank w/fish in(although I did set up 2 filters onto an existing tank and then moved them over when I started the big one). I think it's kinda mini-cycling since i had the other 2 filters on a running aquarium.
Anyway my ? is.....I have no ammonia reading and lately my nitrites have gone up to 1ppm in 1 day(everyday I was changing at least 1/2 the water). My last water change was Friday and I tested the water today and the nitrite was only .25ppm after 2 days. Where I'm stumped is I didn't get any higer nitrate readings. If nitrites processing shouldn't I get higher nitrate readings?
