disturbed cycling of tank

Recommended Posts

Hi, I have been cycling my tank for a couple of weeks. Several days ago I did a 50% water change and also cleaned the filter; now the readings are

 

ammonia = 0

nitrite = 0.5

nitrate = 40

 

Am I done with the cycle? Or have I disturbed the cycle by cleaning the filter?

 

Thanks.

What were the readings prior to the WC?

 

And why did you need to "clean the filter" after only a "couple of weeks"?

 

What is in the tank? Live Rock? Cured? Uncured? Live Sand? Crushed Coral? Nothing? Any critters?

 

You'll need to roll out with some spec's of the "before" if you expect to receive a coherent reply. And you better get to it before ESPI rolls around... All I gots to say!!! :D

From your numbers, no it's not done. Wait for your nitrites to reach 0. But like the man says, we need to see some specs to let you know where you're at.
