PorscheCaymanGT4

So few days ago my Ammonia was at .50 PPM , Nitrites at .50 PPM and nitrates 0 or .2 ish

 

i tested last night and my Ammonia was at 0 and nitrites at 0

 

tanks has only been up for 2 weeks. have 20 lbs live sand, 18 lbs of dry rock and one piece maybe 1/2 LBS of live rock from an established tank. I've used Bio spira live bacteria, and have been ghost feeding the tank every few days.

 

i was surprised the levels are coming down so quickly.

 

what do you experts say? im assuming i should still wait maybe a another week or so and tests more?

I would let it keep going. I just started cycling my 10g nano last night and I used Bio Spira and Dr. Tims ammonia and already had 0 ammonia and .50 ppm of nitrites. Seems WAY to fast for me so im letting mine go. How big is the tank?

20 gallon I'M fusion.

 

My ammonia has bumped up to .25 again with 2 different tests. API and red sea. Nitrites and nitrates are at 0.

 

These results have been same for past few days .25 ammonia and 0 the rest. I'm assuming I need to keep waiting?

I'm kinda confused thow if the BAC. We're breaking down. The ammonia shouldn't I see nitrates? I did last week but now it's steady 0 with ammonia present...

Been 22 days now.
