very nice! let us know if there are nitrates
The test kit is just fine til you get down to .25 ammonia. At that point the kit may show ammonia when you have none
Looks good. Nice clean tank, Take pictures because it will never look that clean and white again.

Day 5....still 2ppm ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, ph 8.3
What the heck ? Instuctions say this cycle should be happening.
Add more bacteria?
More bacteria could help and wont hurt but its just a waiting game.
The cycle is happening just not showing the result.
Chances are it will suddenly drop like a rock.
Go back and re-read your own post. Post #3 that is.

I can for sure report from the field (several cycling message simult) that brightwell products work, but are half as fast as typical cycling products.
I wouldnt use brightwell for fish-in cycling based on how slow the ammonia control is taking in several cycles we're running right now. one of them we had to goose a little fritz to speed up/

Day 19... still waiting.... .5 or so ammonia, nitrite hasn't gone above 1ppm, added turbo start about 2 weeks ago with some additional bio media in sump....I mean how long till I can get fish?! Ugh!
2 weeks ago
you are done, your tests are wrong. Fritz = 48 hrs till locked in,
add fish now they live. Plus we want to track your outcome in false stalled cycle threads, which coincidentally have no seneye owners.

Even with nitrite still showing? Maybe incorrect test results?
Prob not an issue but you could take the water to your lfs to be sure your reading your test results correctly
