Hi,
I`m at day 26 of a Fishless Cycle of a 20gl tank, my Ammonia is getting reduced from 2ppm to 0.25pmm in less than 12 hours, my Nitrates are at 20ppm but my Nitrites are far above 5ppm and are not reducing. I have already done several large water changes during the last three days, this temporary reduces my Nitrites but they quickly rise again above 5ppm. I keep adding Ammonia on a daily basis to stay around 2ppm.
What`s the best way to proceed during this stage of the cycle? Do I keep adding Ammonia and wait until the Nitrites reduce by itself?
Thanks for the information!
