Newbie Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Currently fishless cycling in a 10 gallon tank with two anubias and one Java fern. Added ammonia to 3ppm. Waited for a drop and rise in nitrites, which happened two days ago. Added more ammonia two days ago and this is my reading this morning. 0ammonia 5+nitrite? and maybe 3nitrate? Do I wait for nitrite to drop to add more ammonia? Do I add more ammonia? Did I ruin/slow down my cycle? Do I do a water change to lower nitrite?(I have chloramine out of the tap but I have had a bucket sitting for about a week that’s treated with prime) thank you to all that have already helped me and sorry if I’m pumping too many questions ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrencher_Scott Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I would just wait for the nitrite to drop to zero then add fish. If you change water it will take longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
