 | Update on cycling |
Fishguy101  Hobbyist Posts: 105 Kudos: 170 Votes: 0 Registered: 30-Jun-2004   | I started cycling my tank a week ago (fishless) and have finally gotten a nitrite spike. I am reducing the ammonia intake now. Does anyone know how long it will take for the nitrites to convert into nitrates? I heard that it takes longer than the first step. |
