Hey everyone, cycling my first tank (20 gallon nano cube). First of all want to say I’m grateful for any feedback I get. I know this is prob a common question and I have looked through the threads but wanted to just asked based on my parameters.
I used dr Tim’s one and only and dr Tim’s ammonia chloride and I just wasn’t thinking and added a little too much ammonia not accounting for sand and rock. I did multiple water changes and got the ammonia under control. I’m seeing my ammonia go down close to .2 but nitrites are still above 1ppm.
My main questions are do I do another 33-50% water change? Also do I need to add ammonia to keep ammonia consuming bacteria alive because it seems like ammonia is quickly approaching zero while nitrites are high.
