Hello,

I set up my 10 gallon tank on April 23rd dosing it with ace 10% ammonia at 4ppm. It started showing a nitrite reading of 0.25ppm a little over a week ago and it hasn't moved any. I haven't had to add any ammonia since I set it up.

My tests results from today are:
Ammonia: 2.0ppm
Nitrites: 0.25
Nitrates: 10ppm (Same as tap water)
PH: 8.2

What can I do to get this tank cycling again?
 
You can drain the tank and refill it with dechlorinated water. Then redose with ammonia but only to 2-3ppm. But it is normal for nitrite not to do much for about 2 weeks, then it suddenly drops.
