Hey guys, I have had my saltwater tank set up for about a month now and it’s still in the middle of cycling, I am doing a fish in cycle with 2 Ocellaris clownfish and everything was going fine until a few days ago, previously my ammonia was at 0.25, nitrite was 0.25-1.0 and the nitrate was going between 20 and 40 (I have 20 nitrate coming from the tap) but now I all of a sudden have an ammonia spike and as of yesterday it was a 1.0 and today it’s a 2.0 and my nitrites have stayed at a 1.0 and my nitrates have stayed at a 40 for the past 3 days. I have done 2 large waterchanges to try and get the cycle going again but it doesn’t seem to be working. I also have a new colony of copepods that I only noticed yesterday could they be the reason for my cycle stalling? (This is my first saltwater tank so I’m very new to everything saltwater)
