excellent news. remember to do another 90% water change the day you add fish to remove any traces of the ammonia you've been adding.

Hello again!
I thought I would update this post so you could see the result that the water cahnge had! It looks like my tank has cycled!

As you can see it took about 3 days after the water change for my nitrites to dissapear! Of course these results prove nothing - it could have been that the tank was ready to finish anyway, as it has taken about twice the amount of time that the ammonia took to go which is as predicted.

Now ive done a big water change and am going to contiue to add ammonia untill Monday - this is for both convinence for buying fish and also to make sure it is definately cycled and that the gastromax hasnt had some sort of affect on the readings.

Thanks for everyones help!

I did a 75% water change on my cycling tank and it hasn't helped a bit. It seems like I've been reading 1 PPM of Nitrite for almost ten days now. =( I've got to remember to be patient. All good things come to those who wait.
