New tank 10 weeks ago, past 8 weeks been fighting 4.0ppm and higher ammonia levels.... just 3 days ago, figured out the 4.0ppm was coming from my tap water. Used RO water for a 50% water change Friday night and saw ammonia level decreasing, still 0.0 on nitrites and nitrates. As of this morning, here are my readings:

ammonia = 0.50 ppm
nitrites = 1.0 ppm (finally seeing an increase)
nitrates = 0.0 ppm

With my ammonia lowering and nitrites rising, I understand that's a positive thing for the cycle of the tank. From this point on, what should I concentrate on and what should be any red lights to watch for ?

I'm as nervous as a new dad awaiting on the birth of a first child after finally getting this aquarium on take off mode !!!!!!

Looks like things are moving along!

looks like its doing what it should be, just watch the levels and keep with the water changes, i'd do maybe 10%-15% every 3-4 days as long as your levels dont spike up too high
