Default Re: Cycling a 125g tank without fish

Took about 8 days to get to .25 on ammonia. Seems like the cycle has stalled some. Ammonia is low still, but nitrites don't want to come down. I did about a 30% water change to see if it will help. It brought my nitrites down to a readable level. Will see how it goes from here, I guess. I'm patient. If it takes another week I'm okay with that. Not like I got fish waiting in buckets ready to go in. Ordering my fish through the mail this time anyway.
