Hi guys, I have a 64liter planted tank with fish and bristlenose catfish, dose daily and weekly jbl fertiliser, I have jbl aqua basic plus with jbl mando lights on 11hour timer, I stopped adding co2 for a while as the kit I had wasn’t great and bottles only lasting me a few days, I’ve now...

Think I’ve might have finally cycled it, what you guys think?

Hi, I’ve done a 50% water change because nothing was happening I think it’s because I might have put to much ammonia to begin with, I’ve tested the water after the water change, my ammonia is now 0ppm and my nitrite is .25, what should I do? Add a bit of ammonia to get it up to 1/2ppm or wait...

Now I’m really don’t know what to do, my ammonia is 1ppm , my nitrite is 2ppm, and my nitrate is 160ppm, I have attached photos do you agree with the results? What do I do, wait for The ammonia and nitrite to drop? or do a 25% water change? The things that are in the tank is a heater, filter ...

I already have high nitrates I tested it a couple of days ago, no my media wasn’t exposed to chlorine, I will do all 3 test this evening and see what the results are before I do a 25% water change?

I’ve tested it again this evening, my ammonia is still on 1ppm but now my nitrite is on 2ppm which now I’m baffled again, is this normal?

Yeah my fish and plants are in the other tank still, I already have high nitrates it’s over 40ppm, what if I get zero ammonia and high nitrite , should I add more ammonia to get up to 2ppm and wait for the ammonia and nitrite to go to zero, and keep adding ammonia if it shows zero and high nitrite ?

I’ve checked it this evening , I think the ammonia has dropped down to 1ppm but I can’t really tell I have attached photos, and the nitrite has gone up even more to around 5ppm what you think?
