I know you're right, I'm just hoping it will be ready by Friday. The pH had a small drop again so I added a bit more bicarbonate to boost it back up to ensure the cycle doesn't stall.

I think I'm almost there, ammonia at 0ppm and nitrite at 0.25 ppm 23 hours after dose 6.

The timing actually worked out very well, means that I won't have to add a midweek snack dose and can put the fish in the day after the tank is cycled.
