Hi , I just started viewing your web site in search of info about cycling freshwater tanks.Very good article on the subject.
My 20 gallon tank just recently has nitrite reading as well as nitrates 5ppm on both and I am adding 4-5 ppm of ammonia 2x a day to keep levels up .Ammonia is dropping back to .5ppm before I add more.I just started getting nitrite reading a week ago.I also added Tetra Safestart 2weeks ago.My question is how much longer do you think it will take to see the nitrite levels starting to drop down also?
Have you heard about a product named Atm Colony ? I was going to try this before I started getting Nitrite reading which took about 3weeks to get any readings.
Thanks.
