That's no change in these now for 3 days and it doesnt even show any sign of it getting any dfferent - I mean the readings are definately on thse levels not just sort of (if that makes sense). I know it takes a bit longer than this to cycle, but do things someimes come to a halt for a while too??

It all seems to be going ok elj. It is a slow process, and yes, it can occassionallt 'stall' sightly, but at the mo I dont think there is anything to worry abot, just keep dosing the tank daily as you are.

OH thanks for that. I really am sorry to keep pestering with all the questions but I just want it all to go ok. Thanks for all the patience everyone

No problem. It's what we're here for.
