Fishless Cycle Worry

[Lenny0018]

Hi I started my fishless cycle on the 22/06

Everything seemed to be going ok but I am a bit worried at the minute as here are my latest results

1/7 - Ammonia 2/3ppm - Nitrite - 5ppm
3/7 - Ammonia 2/3ppm - Nitrite - 5ppm
6/7 - Ammonia 2/3ppm
7/7 - Ammonia 2ppm - Nitrite 0ppm

Ive added no more ammonia in last 7 days?

What do I need to do? Please help?

I'm not sure what you want us to do. From those readings, it's hard to tell as the ammonia went down, but the nitrite went way down out of proportion. These readings have me confused. You probably need to add in a nitrate test so we can try to find where your nitrites went.

Are you using liquid or test strips?

Hi I am using a liquid test kit - I will test again when I get in from work but yes i am confused too

I don't know what has happen as it was doing fine the ammonia was lowering and i was adding more after 24 hours and the nitrites were present as well so I haven't a clue??
