Cycle Progressing Nicely?

[Maxta]

Fishless cycling:

Going good, on course?

Everytime my ammonia levels reach between 0 and 1, i add more to raise it back upto 2-3 ppm. They go through it pretty quickly, im having to add ammonia at 9am in the morning, sometimes at 3pm, and then again at 9pm. Iv been doing this for the past 2 or 3 days because they go through it fast!!!

My nitrites have been progressively going down over the past few days as you can see.

It looks like things are going OK but the nitrite is a little odd. As a general rule, you wouldn't see any drop in nitrite for a while. It should go off the chart high for a week or 2 before literally dropping to 0 overnight (or while you're at work/school). Have you checked the nitrate to see where it is? If nitrite is being processed, the nitrate should be constantly rising and also go off the chart. Since you have 2 live plants though, they could be using the nitrate and speeding things.

All looks like it's going well. Just keep it up. I reckon you are at least a week or so away from finishing.
