Justa quick question about the Nitrogen Cycle. I started a new tank about 3 weeks ago. About 10 days ago my Ammonia spiked up to about 2.5 ppm. Now the Ammonia is down to 0, and my Nitrites are at about 1 ppm and my Nitrates are at about 5 ppm. So I seem to be stuck in the middle of the cycle. I was wondering how long I can expect my Nitrites to be high before I see them go to 0 and Nitrates start to spike up. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks so much!:D
