My fishless cycle is stalled and I just need to know if this is normal or if I need to do something?
I know patience is the hardest part of cycling a tank. I'm 3 weeks into fishless cycling this tank and since day 4 (17 days ago) the ammonia hasn't budged, while everything else has stayed identical too. Days 4-21 Ammonia 1.5, NitrItes 0, NitrAtes 0, PH 7.6, all identical readings for the last 17 days. 10 gallon tank, steady PH, steady 78 temp, no real plants, using Ace hardware janitoral Ammonia (have not added any since day 2), also added some fish flake food on day 1 to start the cycle, double sponge filter, used API Quickstart at the beginning, and on day 10, been using SeaChem Stability for the past 3 days.
Any advice? Thanks.
