I'm five weeks into a fish-in cycle on a 10-gallon tank (two platys in the tank). I'm just now registering nitrites, between 0.25 and .5 ppm. Ammonia was 2.0 ppm before 50 percent water change last night. My question is the nitrite cycle and it's relative length compared to ammonia cycle? Also, from this point on in the cycle how long should I go between water changes and what percent water changes should I make? I've been doing 50 percent changes when ammonia creeps above 1 ppm, typically every 4-6 days.
Thanks in advance.
