Thanks Waterdrop....I can see how my comments might be confusing
Yes your interpretation is correct.The reference to clearly within 10 hours is 10 hours after the morning test which is therefore 22 hours after adding the ammonia
Sorry about the times in my updates,I thought I was been clever and helping by putting the times down so that you guys could see exactly what I'm doing and when so you can pick up on anything of note.
Thanks for your continued help
Sometimes nitrite will spike a little in the final week, and best have that happen without fish in the tank.

Agree with that, as mine spiked today, so still not fish-ready yet.
Ruby, purely out of interest, what size is your tank?
Thanks Dave
From what you said about and your Nitrite suddenly reducing to zero after 12 hours about 8 days after Ammonia then hopefully i'm not too far away
To answer your question though my tank is the bow fronted Juwel 180 vision.
Hi Dave
I'm glad to hear about your progress
Not much happening my end.
My ammonia (5ppm) clears overnight within 12 hours and has been for the last 8 days
However during that time my nitrite is sky high at the first morning test but for the last 8 days that massive amount of nitrite has cleared to zero by the time of the night test 12 hours later.
I'm waiting/hoping that one of the experienced members can pass on comment as I don't know if I need to continue as I am or cut back on the ammonia doze or even if I'm cycled perish the thought
As a complete fish virgin it amazes me that my filter is processing an off the scale reading for nitrite to zero within 12 daylight hours but shows no sign of lowering between adding the ammonia the night before and the reading first thing in a morning.
If you can add 5ppm of ammonia and 12 hours later the ammonia is 0ppm, and the nitrite is 0ppm, and you are getting a good nitrate reading I would say you are fully cycled.
Correct me of I am wrong, but you said this is what was happening for the last 8 days? If that is the case, I would say it is time for fish!

I would love you forever if that was right................but.
Yes my ammonia is clearing within 12 hours of adding it and has for 8 days but my nitrite as yet is not clearing within 12 hours of adding the ammonia the night before,but it is within 24 hours.
My reference to the 12 hours for nitrite is that at the 12 hour stage after adding ammonia the night before its still deep mauve/way off the chart (nutrafin kit) but from that point it then clears to zero within 12 hours of that so i suppose technically its only clearing within 24 hours of adding ammonia but it is clearing from off the scale reading to zero within 12 hours if you see what i mean....but i'm not sure if me thinking/hoping i'm cycled because of that is cheating?.
From whaty dave says and his 7/8 days it sounds as if one morning very soon I will wake to find my nitrite test almost clear 12 hours AFTER adding the ammonia dose the night before........then Q week
I say you are almost there then. Since you are taking 5ppm of ammonia to 0ppm in 12 hours, and then 24 hours your nitrite is 0ppm; I would say you are almost there.
I would guess in about a week maybe you should see that ammonia and nitrite will reach 0ppm within 12 hours.
After that has happened, give it another week, just to be on the safe side. Sometimes nitrite will spike a little in the final week, and best have that happen without fish in the tank.
Just keep adding the ammonia, and one day it will all come through!

Thank you,lets hope so
Ruby, your complicated posts are finally getting a little simpler! I'm happy for you that your 22 hours has dropped to 14 hours
