| Ok so I started the cycle on 18th Jan, Todays results Ammonia 0  Nitrite 3 Nitrate somewhere between 2 -5 is this the Nitrite spike ans so should I just does up to 2 now on the ammonia or keep dosing to 4 for a bit longer. Also the water is still a bit cloudy, when will this clear. Also do I have to test the Nitrate now too?  | |

| It's looing good Fishfan . I never had much of a Nitrite spike with my cycle, but if I were you I would keep dosing to 4 for another couple of days and see if it goes up any more. Then you will be able to reduce down to 2-3ppm Dont worry about the water being cloudy - you will be changing it when the cycle is finished anyway. You can start testing the Nitrate, it will give you something else to keep an eye on, :lol: | |
