So I am cycling a new tank and am still early but need guidance please. I did not find this forum until I had already started the cycling process. I had started by filling the tank and then following the instructions of the SeaChem Stability. Yesterday ended the one week cycle instructions that are on the bottle. My readings today are:
pH greater than 7.6
High Range pH 8.2
Ammonia .25 or .5 (I can't tell as they look so similar)
Nitrite 1
Nitrate 5.
So it's not ready. But I have no idea what I am supposed to do at this point? Do I start over adding the SeaChem? Do I do nothing and just let the water do its own thing? Do I add something? Thank you for help and guidance of what my next steps going forward for monitoring and adjusting should be!
