You will need to post more information about your process before we can help, welcome to r2rSo i have a 20 gallon tank.
It has been about 2 month and it is not cycling please help.
How do you mean it is "not cycling"?So i have a 20 gallon tank.
It has been about 2 month and it is not cycling please help.
I can help even with the info given
at no time is a two month system not cycled, you are using old cycling science as the rule and it’s giving you confusing outcomes.
ok now give all the data we need, and pics of the tank and we will verify it against new cycling science rules of timing.
This tank Has to be cycled. At 2 months, you say not cycled - How have you come to that conclusion?So i have a 20 gallon tank.
It has been about 2 month and it is not cycling please help.
Here you go.I can help even with the info given

No. I was about to buy some used rock fom my local fihs store.Was that live rock wet when you brought it home and put it into the tank
Your fish would not be alive if the tank wasn’t cycled. What is giving you the impression that it isn’t cycled?Here you go.
Get some dry rock and let it sit in there for about 60-120 days and wait it out ..So i have a 20 gallon tank.

Api testing kit.Your fish would not be alive if the tank wasn’t cycled. What is giving you the impression that it isn’t cycled?
I have no idea. Because about 2 wekeks agoNo prob, that eliminates skip cycle by true live rock transfer
those animals and the feed they command cycle a reef tank, a set of surface area in the display, in under a month in all cases and if the system wasn’t cycled they couldn’t live, it would crash and the water would be cloudy vs clear. The system processes daily waste from multiple fish because it’s cycled. Anything a non digital test says about ammonia may or may not be true, we can search out misreads for the common kits and if it’s reading a low level degree of ammonia, that’s what aged reef tanks run at/ ammonia isn’t zero in stocked reef tanks post cycle. We no longer factor nitrite or nitrate readings in reef cycling.
the bottle bac you are using works within about ten days, it’s been pre tested in bottle bac study threads that use exact means of testing ammonia command
which part of your cycle seemed stuck
0 ppmI have no idea. Because about 2 wekeks ago
the ammonia was ppm.
If it’s giving you a low reading like 0.25ppm, you can just disregard it as a false positive. Again, your fish would be dead if it wasn’t cycled. Your tank is not mature, but it’s absolutely capable of supporting life.Api testing kit.
