Hello everybody! I am having issues cycling my QT and am about to bang my head on a wall. I have a bare bones 10g QT with only some PVC, HOB filter, heater, Biomax, and a powerhead. It has been cycling for 4 weeks and seems to have completely stalled on the Nitrites which are off the chart. The ammonia phase went quickly at about 5 days, after that the Nitrites have been off the chart. I also used SeaChem Aquavitro Seed for the first 7 days. 3 days ago I did a 90% water change and they were still off the chart, yesterday I dosed Prime at 5X the recommended dose and they are still off the chart today. Still have zero ammonia, very little Nitrate, PH at 8, 78 degrees. Question is, do I do a 100% WC and start all over? Test kit was verified on my DT, and it read zero Nitrite.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
