Added Ammonia and Dr. Tims on 10/7. Was given a bottle of Turbo Start 900 for 100 gallons...I put that into the tank.
I just test my ammonia and it's 0. I tested my nitrite, and it's 0.25ppm. I've never had a tank, when nitrites spiked, and fell that nitrites went back up.
I redosed ammonia to 1ppm, and if it's 0, am I cycled? or do I absolutely need to wait for 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites after 24 hours.
LIke I said, it's weird. Nitrites were 5+ for about 2 week, then fell to 0 overnight. Dosed. Ammonia at 0.5 1 day later, 0 nitrites. Next day, ammonia 0, but nitrites 0.25.
Anyone have this happen to them?
