I have been cycling a 10g with fish food for 32 days and nitrites and nitrates are still very high, any tips? water change?
 
hey I bet its cycled, wanna test to prove it

there's a certain way to use ammonia testing to proof it all as done, and based on two key details, # of days underwater compared to any cycling chart plus measured nitrate, this tank is cycled. NItrite wouldn't factor in the least. post a full tank picture real quick. we are getting pretty good at calling a tank cycled off descriptions alone, let's try for another.


after pics we can shore up some details on a 32 day cycle. if it was my tank I wouldn't proof it, Id change out all the water and add a few small starting items, feed and water change and begin maturing the system.
