Fishless Cycle Day 11 - thoughts?

[limejuice82]

First time cycling a system so curious to know others’ thoughts!

Waiting for my nitrites to go down! Ammonia has gone to 0 though. I’m hoping it will be cycled by day 14 but is that wishful thinking? Would be good to hear other experiences from cycling a tank.

I used Dr Tims ammonium chloride and one and only bacteria at the start. Running at 26C.

Looks good, personally if it was me I would plan to get a fish this weekend.

If you read a number like 2 ppm ammonia and now none, you are ready for a fish. Nitrite is not any concern and not worth waiting for.
