I thought I was getting close to my tank being cycled but the ammonia readings have changed a bit lately. For a week, the ammonia and nitrite were going to 0ppm after 24 hours from 4ppm. However in the last two days the ammonia has slowed. After 36 hours it was only down to 1ppm while the nitrite was 0. I added ammonia to make the readings 4ppm again but when i checked tonight (12 hrs) it was only down to 2ppm while the nitrite was down to 0.25ppm. I'm a bit confused as to what this means and I am hoping someone will enlighten me.
