Fish In Cycle Results

[tom_os]

so im 21 days into my fish in cycle and getting annoied

the only thing is, i have neard ammonia gets turned into nitrite, but throughout the cycling process i have had no readings for nitrite. its a 60l tank.

currently my readings are.

ammonia: 0.5ppm (0ppm in tap water)
nitrite:0ppm(0ppm in tapwater)
nitrate:10ppm(same as tap water)
ph:7.6 (same as tap water)
temp: 26c

i am doing 1 or 2 25% water changes a day to keep the ammonia down and i know i will probably have to do one now. can anyone tell me when this constant water changing end?

thanks

I recently set up a test on 2 new tanks 1 fishin 260l 1 fishless 120l both have taken a little over 4 weeks to cycle

i reckon another 2 or 3 weeks, then it should be done.

Right, the members often quote a month when pressed to give an average, but the actual differences for different people a large and the variables are hard to control. Time is on your side and eventually it can't help but cycle.
