My cycle s coming along nicely in my C-130. I did notice that the ammonia level only got to 2ppm before the nitrites started. Last time I cycled a tank, the ammonia reached 5ppm before nitrites kicked in. The ammonia is going down. It's now .50ppm, nitrites are 1ppm and nitrates are 5ppm. I guess everything is going in the right direction so no need to worry....right? By the way, I used the shrimp method to cycle the tank.
