My cycling 30 gal tank .. 25 days and still ammonia > 0 ...
is that normal and continue waiting ..
or something i can do .... (ammonia > 0 so always nitrite between 1-2 )(I used live bacteria as well but it seems do nothing)

Have you done any water changes yet? What did you use to start your cycle? It took my 35 gallon tank around 6 to 8 weeks to cycle. The hardest part is waiting

Did use good cured live rock to kickstart the bacteria? If not grab a small chunk from the lfs. Waiting it out is the hardest part.

 

[minajaguar]

i have no live rocks

Tell us more about your tank (size, rock, sand, etc)

Tell us how you started the cycle and what you've done to your tank since the cycle was started.
