So I have a 200g tank that I dosed with dr Tim’s 13 days ago. I put 2 Ppm ammonium chloride as per instructions on day one and then accidentally added another 2ppm 3 days later. 4 ppm total was added. Fast forward a few days later and ammonia drops to 2ppm.
For the past 5 days my ammonia has stalled at 2ppm. Nitrites are over 5ppm and nitrates are at 20ppm.
I have done a 50% water change and still ammonia reading at .5-1 ppm. Why is my ammonia not going down unless I do a water change?
should I continue to do water changes till it’s 0? I mean isn’t my tank cycled if I have nitrates??
Or wait till ammonia goes to 0 on its own?
