Hey guys
I set up my tank January 1I’ve been doing a fish less cycle with dry live rock and live sand in the tank and I’ve been ghost feeding since then.
now last week my test results were
Ammonia- 2ppm
Nitrites 5.0ppm
Nitrates 5.0ppm
then I’ve been testing every day and I get these same results every day
Ammonia -0
Nitrites - it’s still at 5.0ppm
Nirates - 20ppm
now I did you fritz turbo start bacteria when I had a read on my ammonia test. I also saw brown diatoms form on the live sand and rocks and glass but it wasn’t a huge bloom.
Is the cycle near its end ?
