Advice on my Fishless water cycle results

[twelve121]

Hello, im in of some insight/ thoughts about my results of my Fishless water cycle.

To give some context im week 4 into my water cycle and have seen high levels for all ammonia, nitrites and nitrates and the first picture is on the 10th of April showing high nitrites and 0 ammonia. On the second pic which was taken on the 15th April is showing 0 on all three?

Has something gone wrong as im confused to see no readings for my nitrates.

I have also now bought 2 clown fish and did a 50% water change today too.

Let's see - 2 ppm NO2 will equal around 3+ ppm NO3 assuming you didn't add any more ammonia. That's within API tolerance visually. 4 weeks after cycling...really no way you're not fully cycled. Keep an eye on parameters after fish addition though. Nothing should happen that a good water change can't fix. Good luck!

Thanks for reply mate, yeah I hope it goes well too

Your cycle is done, and those are passing ammonia readings above.

The reason your fish are fine each day is bc no cycles are stuck by week 4. You're now into reefing, not cycling choices. No need to test any further ever for cycling params
