Hey guys,
I have been following the tank cycling guide posted here in this forum and I am on the very last step but it is taking forever! I am on the step where it says to continue to test every 24 hrs, if the ammonia and nitrite are not 0, then add another ammonia dose. Continue this pattern until the ammonia & nitrite are zero after 24 hrs of adding a full dose of ammonia. I have done this step maybe 4-5 times?? It said I should only have to do it around 2-3 times. When I test in 24 hrs, the ammonia and nitrite levels are both higher than 0, but not crazy high...around 2 or so?
Am I doing something wrong or do I just need to be more patient? Should I add more bacteria to the tank?
Thanks!!
