Hey all - going through a fishless cycle and am getting a stall in ammonium and a constant increase in nitrites. Is this normal? Nitrates are also rising which is good (?) but im mostly concerned about ammonium and nitrite levels.
Im follwing Dr Tims guide - but he says to re-dose ammonium if ammonium and nitrite are below 1ppm. But they werent both below. So I have not re-dosed since original dosing.
