Hello,
I've started a fishless cycle 10 days ago. The biofilter is happily going through 4 to 5 ppm of ammonia every 24 hours, so so far so good. The levels is topped up daily .
The nitrites though have gone through the roof and stand at about 120 ppm. I know there's supposed to be a spike, but I wasn't expecting this.
Nitrates are at 40 ppm
Not sure what to do now. Leave it be and add ammonia every day or do 2 90% PECs and see what happens?
Any suggestions and or explanations welcome
