hello, I've been cycling a 29 gallon tank since 2-26-21 and i added several zebra danios a few days later after adding TSS+ and yes i know the fish-in method isn't a method ill do again as i am currently cycling 2 other tanks with pure ammonia (another 29 gallon and a 10 gallon QT tanks.) i lost a few danios early on, but i have 6 right now and they seem happy for the most part and love eating, and chasing one another. As of today im reading .50Ammonia, 0 nitrite (i presume bc of the TSS and never had a reading) and 2.5-5nitrate and 7.2 ph. i first started getting a reading of nitrate on 3-27-21. My tap water is .50Ammonia, 0 nitrite and 0 nitrate, ph of 8.2, 100-120ppm KH, 140-150ppm GH.
Does the emergence of nitrate in late march (3-27) indicate the cycle is slowly but surely progressing? the ammonia in my tank has been steady around .25-50 the last few weeks and never reached passed .75ppm ammonia at any known time. some help and insight would greatly be appreciated! thank you
