Hey guys,
Starting cycling the new 55 gallon tank about 15 days ago. I started with 40lbs off base rock and then dropped in 15 lbs of live stuff. I also manually added the correct amount of ammonia and bacteria booster to get The process started.
My ammonia is processing in about 12 hours I would say. Nitrites are sky high 5ppm+... nitrates are about 30-40ppm. Do I just keep waiting this out? Should I be adding ammonia daily? If so how much I don’t want to get stalled on the nitrite part of the cycle. Also Ph is around 8.2. I have been keeping ammonia around .5 -1ppm per day
Any helpful advice is appreciated
Thanks
