So these are my results in my cycling,betta is being used to cycle the tank and I tested the water today.
Ph:7.2
ammonia:.25 ppm
nitrite:5 ppm
nitrate:40 ppm
tds:352

I did put a bunch of safestart in and squeezed in some stuff from one of my established filters?Everything seem ok in my cycle or something to worry about,or to know,thanks.

Fish in cycle? Why?

All I could do at the moment.but anyone what about my cycle?

ammonia:.25 ppm

nitrate:40 ppm

Are these numbers before or after the water change?

Oh and PS

You talk about a new tank and no photos, what gives? You know the rules.

I apoligize,and these numbers are a day after I put a mix of RO and tap water in my tank/dechlor of course.For water change.

I think I know the issue,I tested my ro/di water and it has high nitrites in it and my tap has 0 nitrites I mostly use my tap for water changes but wanted to try RO/DI so I think the high nitrites overwhelmed my bacteria and is now causing a spike.
