| Hiya. I am really sorry to keep asking about this but I have been doing water changes twice a day for nearly a week now and am still getting readings of Ammonia 0.25, Nitrite 0.
Shouldn't things have changed by now or am I doing something wronmg? | |

| I think when you are cycling with fish then it is a bit of a slog, and a week is very early days in the process.
It really is just a case of carrying on with what yoyu are doing - how much water are you changinf at a time? | |

| Refresh my memory, Fishfan, you have fish in the tank already, right? It's possible that the cycling process is just taking its time. If I remember correctly, it was at least ten days before I saw an increase in ammonia but once it had peaked and then declined, the nitrites kicked in fairly quickly.
How much water are you changing each time? | |
