Re: cycling 3 tanks!
If you don't have fish in it you wouldn't need to change water yet.

Re: cycling 3 tanks!
Weird, when my tanks cycled my ammonia went to almost zero before I started getting nitrite readings. I never had that high of both.

Re: cycling 3 tanks!
Whatever is in that 10, best be doing some water changes or whatever is in it will be dead. If you have fish in these tanks are you doing anything about the readings?

Re: cycling 3 tanks!
none in the 10. some in the 29 and 5 (the 5 gallon is only cycling bc of mardel copper safe dumb copper killing my bacteria). i used seachem prime in both tank plus i do water changes, and a shrimp died in my 29 gallon (need the 10 gallon to cycle so i can put the last ones in there).
