Hi, I am currently in the middle of cycling my first saltwater tank. It’s 45 gallons sumpless with live sand and dry rock, also Red Sea coral pro salt and RODI water. I started the cycle on March 8th by adding Dr Tim’s one and only, and his ammonium chloride as directed by a LFS. When I first added the ammonia drops, I did the recommended 4 drops per gallon and dosed it to 2.0 ppm. By day 3 ammonia was sky high at over 8.0 ppm, and stayed like that for about a week with no change, test kit was really really dark nitrites still 0. Kept testing everyday and didn’t add ammonia on day 6 because of the sky high ammonia. On day 7 I saw my first trace of nitrite, 0.25 ppm. Ammonia still at 8.0. Day 9 and my ammonia finally dropped to 2.0 and nitrite spiked to 2.0 also got the first sign of nitrate (maybe 5ppm). To this point ph has stayed consistently at 8.2. By day 13 March 20, ammonia is at 0.25ppm and nitrite has spiked to over 5.0 (at least I think, 2.0 and 5.0 is virtually the same to me, I am colorblind but my wife also has a hard time distinguishing these colors) and nitrite is around 20 ppm. These readings have not changed virtually at all since the 20th. Ph 8.2, ammonia 0.25ppm, nitrite 5.0 And nitrate is 40ppm. I have read conflicting information about doing a water change while cycling, so I’m reaching out for help to this awesome community.
